Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Remillard is an independent software engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating reliable, large-scale systems for startups and product teams, most recently at Instacart and as a founding engineer at LayerUp. He thrives on end-to-end ownership—translating product and UX constraints into well-designed backend systems, mobile apps, and developer tooling that people actually use. Lately he’s focused on applied AI that’s grounded in structured data, secure system design, and strong UX rather than proof-of-concept prompt work. His background includes deep performance and reliability wins (including major page-load improvements on high-data platforms) and shipping consumer-facing products like an AI-driven fitness tracker he’s currently building. Based in San Francisco, he’s drawn to teams where correctness, reliability, and thoughtful design matter.
