Clayton Salem is a pragmatic full stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building web applications and leading teams across insurance, SaaS, and agency settings. He combines strong PHP and JavaScript chops—Node.js, Symfony, front-end animation and CSS—with hands-on leadership as a Senior Software Developer Team Lead and current Software Engineer at Travelers. His background in geology from Bowdoin College gives him a data-driven, observant approach to problem solving and an unusual cross-disciplinary perspective on systems and operations. Comfortable shipping features and mentoring engineers, he has deep experience with Drupal, WordPress, and modern JS tooling from early front-end roles through enterprise-grade platforms. Colleagues rely on him to bridge design sensibilities (photography/graphic design) with solid engineering practices to produce polished, maintainable products. He’s also known for a playful, energetic streak—“I like to move it, move it.”—that keeps teams engaged during long projects.
