Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Lew is a founder and full-stack web developer with roughly a decade of hands-on coding experience and eight years of professional practice, currently studying Computer Science at Seattle University. He has launched, scaled, and monetized consumer-facing products—from Anify, an anime streaming site he grew to 6,000 monthly active users and later sold, to myrtle.moe, a niche tool for Arknights players. Ian combines modern front-end skills (React, JS, HTML/CSS) with backend expertise (REST, Express, SQL) and a history of building popular scraping and proxy services used by hundreds to thousands of users. He leads small teams, moderates active communities, and iterates based on user and creator feedback, showing a rare mix of product intuition and technical depth. Notably, his open-source work on scraping, bypass tooling, and m3u8 proxies has real-world adoption and sponsorship, reflecting both technical risk-taking and community trust. Based in Redmond, WA, he blends entrepreneurial drive with a practical focus on UX and scalable architectures.
