Summary
Helen Liutongco is a software engineer with eight years of experience building frontend-first web applications and design systems, now based in New York. She blends a writer’s attention to clarity with strong technical chops in TypeScript, React/Next.js, and component libraries—often owning end-to-end UI flows like audience-building and campaign platforms. Helen has a track record of quickly learning new stacks (Neon, tRPC, Drizzle, Supabase/Vercel) to meet aggressive timelines and leading knowledge-sharing to upskill teams. She routinely mentors junior engineers, improves team processes (on-call rotations, Sentry backlog, demo cadence), and has driven accessible, reusable component work across React and legacy Ember apps. A former Flatiron TA, she brings classroom-tested pedagogy to technical onboarding and documentation. Chicago-born and NYC-transplanted, she approaches coding as craft and communication, treating syntax and UX with equal care.
