Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Priestley is a Principal Frontend Engineer with 13 years of experience crafting high-performance, complex UIs and pushing the limits of the browser from the San Francisco Bay Area. He combines deep frontend expertise in JavaScript, React, and Node.js with a functional-programming mindset—having explored Haskell through multiple experimental projects—which informs novel solutions like an error-preserving backtracking parser and operational-transform persistence. Jason has led migrations and performance overhauls at scale (Glassdoor) and built advanced visualization and collaboration features for BI and presentation platforms (Sigma, Beautiful.AI). He also brings product-minded engineering from founding touchto.build and shipping full-stack systems, including canvas charting engines and CSV live previews. Curious and pragmatic, he often blends academic rigor (MIT mathematics) with hands-on optimizations such as font-splitting lazy loading and custom layout algorithms to deliver both elegant and efficient user experiences.
