Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Spencer is a Research Engineer with 16 years of experience building user-focused web platforms, developer tooling, and infrastructure, currently exploring the intersection of cybersecurity and agentic AI. He began as a teen entrepreneur in a small English town, bootstrapping local networks and e-commerce businesses, and has since shipped products and platforms at startups and at scale (Sencha, Palo Alto Networks, Origin Protocol). A longtime JavaScript and UI specialist, he helped evolve major front-end frameworks and now experiments with generative, real-time UIs using React Server Components and the Vercel AI SDK. He has a strong track record of turning slow, manual release processes into CI/CD pipelines and embracing IaC for reliable deployments. Based in Florida after a long stint in San Francisco, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a designer’s attention to UX and a curiosity for agentic AI applied to security. Expect a blend of entrepreneurial grit, deep front-end craft, and systems-level thinking that surfaces non-obvious user-facing improvements.
