Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHans Hoffman is a freelance software engineer and engineering leader with a decade of experience building greenfield web applications and scaling developer workflows at early-stage startups. A U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and former officer, he combines military-grade operational discipline and coalition-level coordination with pragmatic, functional-first engineering—often advocating type-safe front-end solutions like Elm and TypeScript. He’s been the first technical hire to shape product roadmaps, led migrations from polyrepo to monorepo and CI/CD modernizations, and shortened sales cycles by building DX tooling and documentation. Comfortable shipping React apps that remain in production for years, he also coaches teams on autonomy, mentorship, and wellbeing, and brings hands-on offensive cyber experience from six years in the Intelligence Community. Outside work he channels precision into Olympic weightlifting, climbing, custom mechanical keyboards and is currently learning Spanish—small signals of a methodical, curious engineer who thrives on long-term impact.
