Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsaac Durand is a full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building customer-facing products and internal tools across startups and growth-stage companies. He focuses on JavaScript-driven stacks but brings production experience in Ruby and Python, and a track record of quickly adopting new technologies like RedwoodJS and serverless Vercel functions to cut costs and accelerate delivery. Isaac has led engineering efforts that turned pivots into paying products—driving high trial-to-paid conversion at Speakeasy, adding remote bidding and a GraphQL migration at Auction.com, and launching a headless page-builder to boost registrations at Toucan. As a hands-on lead he scopes MVPs, hires and mentors contractors, and replaces brittle automations with testable, versioned services. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs product-minded engineering with a mission-driven approach, currently working to democratize philanthropy at Groundswell. An early communicator and teacher, he also authored curriculum for Codesmith, reflecting his emphasis on technical communication and developer onboarding.
