Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Hon is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with seven years of hands-on experience specializing in front-end development and performance-focused server-side rendering. At DICK'S Sporting Goods he has progressed from Software Engineer I to Senior Software Engineer, driving scalable front-end solutions for high-traffic retail systems. An active open-source contributor and co-creator of RibbitJS, he built advanced CSS code-splitting, static asset generation, and multi-process build optimizations that improve SSR performance and developer ergonomics. He brings a full-stack perspective—leveraging Node.js, Webpack, React, Redux and AWS—to bridge browser experience and build-time tooling. Unusually for a front-end specialist, his academic background in neuroscience and science education informs a methodical, user-centered approach to state management and data flows.
