Summary
Kennedy Slawinski is a Senior Software Developer with 12 years of experience building and optimizing front-end infrastructure and full-stack applications across startups and scale-ups from Saskatoon, Canada. He specializes in developer experience, micro frontends, module federation and build-performance work—migrating teams between toolchains (CRA → Webpack → Rspack), reducing CI/CD and local build times, and ensuring cross-module hot reload. Kennedy has shipped customer- and engineer-facing products at companies like Shopify, 7shifts, SkipTheDishes and early-stage Chroma, and he frequently leads large refactors, shared libraries and consolidation efforts to improve reuse and reliability. He also invests time in mentoring, knowledge-sharing (founded a Frontend Guild) and developer tooling to raise team velocity. Equally comfortable diving into backend services, payments APIs and database scaling, he brings a pragmatic, product-minded approach to technical decisions. A tinkerer at heart, he’s driven by improving the day-to-day experience of fellow engineers as much as end-user outcomes.
