Summary
Hylinn Taggart is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building production software across web, native Windows, and cloud-native systems from Asheville, NC. At Box he designs frameworks and code generation tooling to help teams migrate a monolith to Java-based containerized microservices, extending OpenAPI and integrating generation into CI/CD pipelines. His background includes embedding Chromium and V8 into native apps, bridging C#, C++, and JavaScript via COM, and delivering high-performance front-end and back-end solutions earlier in his career. Curious and adaptable, he shifts comfortably between AI/ML experiments, mobile work, and systems engineering, and brings a track record of pragmatic optimizations (including significant performance and deployment-size gains) to complex projects. Off the clock he’s a hockey player, reflecting a team-oriented, competitive mindset that complements his engineering focus.
