Summary
Conor Meagher is an engineering manager and hands-on web developer with nearly a decade of experience building high-performance front-end and Jamstack applications. He has led small engineering teams and delivered measurable impact—most notably cutting content load times in half and enabling $2.8M/year in payroll donations through a React/Node self-service portal. Comfortable across the full stack, Conor specializes in modern JavaScript ecosystems (React, Svelte, Astro), server-side rendering, and pragmatic CI/CD and TDD practices. As a consultant he’s migrated multiple clients to Jamstack architectures and translated Figma designs into production-ready style systems, while also automating workflows with Slack/Discord bots. Based in Overland Park, KS, he brings a mix of engineering leadership, product-focused UX sensibility, and an ability to simplify complex processes for startups and nonprofits. An unusual strength is his background outside tech—advanced urban studies and regional planning—which informs his systematic, user-centered approach to solving web problems.
