Summary
Emit Dutcher is a founder and seasoned full-stack engineer with nine years of experience building practical, maintainable web applications and internal tooling across startups and enterprises. He specializes in the PERN stack and has held progressive engineering roles at American Express and UpKeep, where he moved from senior to staff-level responsibilities before launching his own firm, Develemit. Emit blends customer-facing experience from hospitality and banking with hands-on technical delivery, owning architecture through deployment and support for automation, web apps, and electronics diagnostics. Based in the Greater Phoenix Area, he favors pragmatic solutions that balance reliability and maintainability, often implementing end-to-end systems himself. A Galvanize and freeCodeCamp graduate, he continuously sharpens his craft through learning and coding rather than stepping back into pure management.
