New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEnrique Casillas is a software engineer with a decade of experience building consumer device software and web applications, recently contributing to Vega OS and Parental Controls on the Vega FireTV at Amazon. He combines deep front-end and state-management skills—Redux, SvelteKit, D3, Mapbox—with OS-level optimization experience, having driven build-time reductions of 90%+ and streamlined core components. An MIT-trained developer (BS and MEng in Computer Science), Enrique has taught and mentored hundreds of students in web development and interactive data visualization, translating research into production-ready features for urban equity projects. He’s led small teams through codebase refactors, issue triage, and feature delivery, demonstrating strong project ownership and cross-team collaboration. Based in New York, he now focuses on "building something new" in stealth, blending device/software systems know-how with a knack for practical, data-informed visualization. A less obvious strength: he pairs rigorous engineering optimizations with pedagogy, routinely improving developer experience while teaching others how systems fit together.
