Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrendan Chou is a frontend software engineer with nine years of experience, currently building customer-facing experiences for SoFi after driving major UI and performance improvements at Intuit's QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping service. He specializes in shipping efficient, resilient front-end systems—leading a migration that cut bundle size by over 1MB and sped key user flows by up to 3 seconds, and designing Playwright test suites that enabled automated production deployments. Brendan has delivered revenue-driving UI components for live chat, appointment scheduling, and tax integrations projected to generate multimillion-dollar impact, and pairs product-minded feature work with observability tooling like traffic dashboards and alert triage. A UC San Diego computer science undergraduate based in Palo Alto, he brings a pragmatic combination of performance optimization, end-to-end testing, and analytics-driven UX decisions that often surface non-obvious gains in conversion and reliability.
