Colin Hemphill is a Staff Engineer with 11 years building large-scale, performant React applications and a strong front-end design sensibility, currently shaping Bitly’s link experience. He’s driven architecture, code health, and feature delivery as a team lead and has led major rebuilds and migrations (Next.js, TypeScript) to improve performance, accessibility, and conversion at product-focused companies like The Zebra. Comfortable spanning full-stack concerns from Node.js backends to real-time features, he pairs pragmatic engineering with user-centered design. Outside of software he brings audio engineering expertise to volunteer and band production work, a practical skillset that informs his attention to detail in UX and systems that must perform in live environments. He’s Austin-based and explicitly filters out crypto recruiting—so add “NOT CRYPTO” if you’re reaching out.
