Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKen Hoff is a senior full-stack engineer based in Denver with 13 years of experience building products across startups and enterprise teams. He has a proven track record of shipping production web and mobile systems end-to-end—from rebuilding large Angular apps into React to designing backend APIs, attribution pipelines, and analytics-driven features. As an early engineering hire he built Halp to $20k MRR and led cross-functional teams and transitions, including taking over and reshaping an offshore team of 12 at Lootcakes. Ken is also an active open-source contributor (notably on GetStream’s Winds RSS/podcast app) and combines hands-on coding with product-minded leadership and mentoring. Practical, pragmatic, and comfortable wearing every hat, he’s as likely to design API contracts and data pipelines as he is to implement polished front-end UX.
