Brian Swisher
Staff Engineer, Senior Front-End Developer at Postman
San Francisco Bay Area United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolBrian Swisher is a Senior Front-End Developer in the San Francisco Bay Area with two decades of industry experience focused on mobile web, component-driven UIs, isomorphic JavaScript apps, React, Redux, Node.js and build tooling. He favors a bias-to-action methodology he calls EDI (Experiment, Discover, Illustrate) that breaks projects into validated, steerable building blocks and drove several teams to adopt package-based, testable development flows. At companies from Hotwire and HotelTonight to Postman he’s led migrations away from monolithic UIs toward componentized, performant, SEO-friendly front ends and created practical dev tooling like a cache server to simplify feature development. He’s equally comfortable teaching colleagues ES6/React lifecycles as he is architecting server-side rendering and developer experience improvements, and his background in digital art hints at a long-standing eye for crafted interfaces.
