Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDustin Dowell is a senior software engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building scalable web platforms from storefronts to data pipelines. He’s led full-stack development and architecture for high-throughput systems—most notably designing an A/B testing platform that handled 5+ million daily requests with serverless AWS infrastructure, Node backends, and Vue frontends. Comfortable across the stack, Dustin blends frontend product polish (Vue2/3, Tailwind) with robust backend engineering (Node, Go, MongoDB, PostgreSQL) and real-time analytics for conversion optimization. He’s repeatedly rescued stalled projects, established CI/CD and infrastructure best practices, and mentored teams while making pragmatic trade-offs to ship. Based in Des Moines, he pairs a graphic-design background with deep systems experience, which shows up in thoughtful UX-driven engineering and early experimentation with AI for content generation.
