Summary
Dustin Getz is a founder and UI platform specialist with 13 years of experience modernizing front-end architectures for growth-stage startups and enterprise customers. He builds reactive, full‑stack Clojure/ClojureScript systems (notably Electric) and low-code UI platforms aimed at collapsing the cost and complexity of enterprise frontend development. Dustin has a track record of derisking risky migrations—moving large Clojure/Script codebases to modern stacks and replacing hand‑rolled sync layers to dramatically cut code, fix impedance bugs, and boost performance. An early React adopter and creator of one of the first React state-management libraries (react-cursor), he pairs deep implementation skills with product leadership across engineering, security, and stakeholder partnerships. Investors and peers describe him as relentlessly resourceful and singularly effective at turning messy UI problems into pragmatic, scalable solutions. Based in Greater Philadelphia, he combines research-led thinking about the computational structure of UIs with hands-on delivery for real-time, data‑heavy applications.
