Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Taylor is a Senior Software Engineer in Los Angeles with 11 years of experience specializing in JavaScript front-end development, particularly React, React Native, and Redux. He blends product-minded engineering with hands-on implementation, having co-created React Proto — an Electron-based prototyping tool that visualizes component hierarchies and lets developers eject code into projects. At USAA (and previously Noblr) he has advanced from software engineer to senior engineer, applying scalable front-end architecture and state management patterns in production. His background in IT support gives him practical operational instincts for reliability and deployment concerns often overlooked by pure frontend engineers. An active open-source contributor, he enjoys building creative, thought-provoking tools that bridge designer and developer workflows.
