Summary
Jose Chavez is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berkeley with 10 years of experience designing frontend architectures and leading cross-platform migrations using Angular, React, React Native, and TypeScript. He has a track record of measurable impact—driving a 33% increase in user flow completion and a 72% reduction in memory usage through targeted migrations, and doubling subscriptions after a UI/UX refactor at Row Forge. Comfortable across mobile-optimized, modular solutions on Google Cloud and GraphQL-backed APIs, he blends hands-on coding with mentorship and product-focused design. His background spans startups and enterprise internships (Adobe, General Motors) and includes practical IT and customer-facing roles that sharpen his troubleshooting and operational thinking. Unusually for an engineer, he also performs professionally as a DJ/MC, demonstrating live-event adaptability and a knack for reading audiences—skills he brings to team leadership and user-centric product decisions. He holds a CS master’s from UT Austin and a CS/Film bachelor's from UC Berkeley, combining technical rigor with design sensibility.
