Colin Hanna is a Principal Software Engineer based in Austin with 14 years of experience building full-stack web applications and platform services across startups and mid-size companies. He combines deep backend expertise in Node, Express, Ruby on Rails, .NET/C# and SQL with front-end experience in Ember.js, Ext JS and modern web standards, having shipped production systems at companies like Procore, ShipStation, Bestow, and Hotel Engine. Colin has progressed from systems analyst and developer roles into senior and principal engineering positions, delivering pragmatic architecture, mentoring teams, and bridging legacy stacks with modern JavaScript ecosystems. He’s equally comfortable in native toolchains (Objective-C/Xcode) and enterprise IDEs (Visual Studio), a breadth that helps him move products forward across the stack. Collected over long tenures at complex organizations, his background suggests a practical focus on maintainability and incremental modernization rather than chasing the latest buzzwords.
