Senior🎓
Top SchoolKrishan Taylor is a Principal Software Engineer based in Cambridge, MA with 12 years of experience building scalable full-stack web applications and leading engineering teams. He has a strong computer science and math foundation from Carnegie Mellon and a track record of driving architecture and performance improvements—from launching Jobcase’s consumer product to rebuilding core community features and design systems. At Occupier he moved into principal-level responsibilities after growing through senior engineering roles, consistently improving maintainability, testability, and developer workflows. Krishan blends front-end craftsmanship (custom D3 and web components) with backend integrations (APIs, payment and SSO systems) and a habit of reducing technical debt through thoughtful refactors. He mentors engineers and introduces processes—code reviews, feedback cadences, and tooling—that scale teams without sacrificing quality. Outside day-to-day delivery he stays current through conferences, open source engagement, and hands-on experimentation with new stacks.
