Summary
Joseph Lavin is a senior full-stack developer based in Redwood City with 12 years of experience modernizing web platforms and leading engineering teams. He has progressed from hands-on buildouts of e-commerce and CMS systems to executive tech roles (CIO/CTO) and now drives core product development at PhoneBurner. At Stanbridge University he designed a custom in-house framework—complete with DI, routing, ORM, caching, and testing—that integrated with existing APIs to streamline authentication, notifications, and developer workflows. Comfortable across back-end architecture and front-end frameworks (Angular/Vue), he focuses on practical, efficiency-boosting tooling and best practices that reduce operational friction. Known for blending leadership with deep implementation chops, he excels at turning complex requirements into reliable, testable systems. His background in both product-facing and platform infrastructure work gives him a rare perspective on aligning engineering decisions with business outcomes.
