👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff James is a founder and hands-on web and mobile engineer with over a decade of experience building consumer apps and complex front-end platforms from concept to launch. He co-founded and led frontend engineering at SQUAD, shipping a React Native, AES-256 encrypted “disposable camera” app for iOS and Android, and recently launched Taper to help people safely taper medications through partnerships with healthcare providers. His background includes architecting global, multi-language marketing platforms (powering campaigns for the UN and Facebook), building reusable component libraries with advanced SVG and animation work, and presenting interactive browser experiences to major IP holders like Gearbox and Konami. Jeff pairs product-facing design sensitivity (Figma-driven UX improvements) with deep technical craft—React, TypeScript, SSR, Storybook, and animation ecosystems—and mentors engineers across the stack. Based in Dana Point, CA, he combines startup founding experience with an unusual mix of public-facing campaign success and privacy-focused app engineering.
