Summary
Kenji Mah is a frontend-focused technical lead with 8 years of experience designing and shipping full-stack SaaS products that blend elegant UX with secure, production-ready architecture. At Critical Synthesis he single-handedly architected and built a modular React/TypeScript training and certification platform—owning frontend infrastructure, Supabase auth, Stripe payments, dynamic PDF certificate generation, and Vercel deployments. He pairs a builder’s mindset with strong security hygiene (RLS, least-privilege, CI gates, signed URLs) and uses analytics-driven iteration to boost product outcomes (e.g., a 20% enrollment lift from an FAQ feature). Earlier roles at Breinify honed his ability to translate complex data workflows into polished, productivity-boosting UIs, while consulting work explored high-assurance MDM architectures and IP strategy for regulated environments. Unusually for a software lead, Kenji also trains in CNC machining and digital fabrication, applying CAD/CAM discipline and precision tolerancing to inform his approach to design and prototyping. Based in San Francisco, he’s drawn to projects that intersect frontend engineering, security, and tangible fabrication.
