Summary
Jan Catalan is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Los Angeles with seven years of experience building scalable, performance-driven web and mobile systems across startups and enterprise environments. He architects cloud-native microservices on GCP, designs high-throughput alerting and CSV export pipelines, and ships React/React Native micro-frontends that reduce duplicated mobile code and improve operational efficiency. Equally comfortable modernizing legacy stacks—migrating jQuery to functional React, introducing TypeScript, Storybook, and CI/CD—and delivering production-grade infrastructure using Docker, Jenkins, and Azure/GCP services, he has a track record of improving uptime and deployment reliability. Jan pairs hands-on implementation with mentorship and onboarding, having led reusable component libraries and developer tooling efforts that speed team ramp-up. Notably, he blends a pragmatic focus on maintainable code with an interest in developer tools and open-source workflows, often leveraging GraphQL/Apollo and automated testing to tame complex state and dataset challenges.
