Justin Chilleo is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building reliable, high-performance web and backend systems across media and finance. He currently owns a low-latency ads platform at The Washington Post, driving technical direction for monetization, integrating identity signals, and delivering $1.5M+ incremental programmatic revenue through SSP integrations and demand tuning. Comfortable across Java, TypeScript, React/Angular, and Next.js, he combines front-end polish with backend scalability—recently shipping a Next.js + Supabase app with robust auth and Zod-validated APIs. Justin is practiced at reducing latency and deployment risk (minutes → sub-second loads) and at translating telemetry into business impact via Athena/SQL analyses. He mentors engineers, leads incident response for revenue-critical systems, and has a track record of creating internal tooling and shared component libraries that materially speed development. A former NLP research assistant, he brings an analytical mindset to production problems and a knack for turning complex requirements into pragmatic, auditable solutions.
