Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Hann is a Principal Software Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience designing and scaling resilient, cost-effective cloud and serverless architectures for high-growth products. He built and led engineering orgs from the ground up—most notably as employee #2 and Head of Engineering at Paceline where his team shipped a viral iOS app that scaled to a million MAU and billions of workouts with 99.974% uptime. Equally comfortable in front-end and back-end disciplines, he contributes to open-source tooling (including work on the cujoJS loader) and codes in TypeScript, Haskell, and JavaScript while championing functional and IoC patterns. A mentor and culture-builder, he emphasizes incremental simplicity, knowledge sharing, and lifting teammates to do career-defining work. Based in Massachusetts, he pairs serious technical depth with a curious, adventurous off-duty life—trail running, mountain unicycling, and pursuing tenor singing and alto saxophone skills.
