Summary
Derek Robati is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer and Team Lead with 15 years of experience building scalable, microservice-based web applications using React, Node, and modern JavaScript tooling. He combines hands-on implementation — from API and infrastructure work on AWS (EC2, ECS, ECR, RDS, IAM) to front-end improvements with React Router, React Query, and Svelte/SvelteKit — with a strong automation mindset that eliminates repetition and speeds delivery. At Priority he has driven performance and reliability gains (removing Redux, implementing React Query, automating legacy routing) and cut onboarding from weeks to a day through KYC and auto-underwriting integrations. He’s led small engineering teams, mentored engineers, and built developer productivity tools such as CLIs and codemods to improve workflow. Derek routinely experiments with new stacks (tRPC, TypeScript, turborepo, SwiftUI) via proof-of-concept projects, reflecting a blend of production rigor and continuous learning. Based in Canton, GA, he balances architecture and delivery with a knack for turning complex requirements into pragmatic, well-tested solutions.
