Summary
Derek Gulledge is a Senior Software Engineer based in Round Rock, Texas, with 11 years of experience specializing in front-end engineering and a strong leaning toward full-stack JavaScript. He builds pixel-perfect, user-centric interfaces using React, Angular, modern HTML/CSS (SASS/LESS) and complements them with Node/Express APIs to deliver complete web experiences. Derek has led CSS strategy and sizable refactors—once shrinking SCSS codebase by 60%—and has experience improving accessibility and design-system consistency at enterprise firms like Visa and Charles Schwab. Comfortable in both contract and in-house roles, he pairs hands-on implementation with documentation and cross-team collaboration to move projects forward. His background in urban planning and business gives him an eye for structured, user-focused design decisions that scale beyond the code.
