Summary
James Putnam is a senior software engineer and UX designer with 10+ years crafting user-centered web and hybrid mobile experiences, currently building frontend architecture at TruHearing while running his own studio to help founders turn ideas into polished products. He blends deep expertise in Angular, TypeScript, Nx and hybrid frameworks (React Native, Ionic, Flutter) with hands-on product and visual design skills (Figma, D3, Illustrator), enabling him to own features from concept through implementation. Known for mentoring teams and aligning design systems with scalable engineering, he’s led front-end architecture at Monumetric and delivered UX-driven solutions in energy and publishing domains. Based in Utah, he thrives in collaborative teams and values measurable impact on users’ lives—if it’s not built for the user, he won’t build it. An uncommon strength is his fluency across both pixel-level design and enterprise-grade app architecture, which speeds decisions and reduces handoff friction.
