Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLandon Schropp is a versatile lead developer and product-minded technologist with 13 years of experience building user-focused web and mobile applications, from Amazon-scale systems to habit-forming consumer products and energy-efficiency platforms. He blends hands-on engineering (front-end to backend), design sensibility, and team leadership—instilling strong development practices like test coverage, prototyping, and collaborative code reviews. As a founder and solo entrepreneur he ran customer-driven product experiments, built a Phoenix+React prototype, and made the pragmatic decision to sunset an otherwise well-liked product when it wasn’t market viable. He’s also an author and educator—publishing a well-received book and video series on Flexbox—and consistently emphasizes UX research and measurable outcomes in product work. Based in Kansas City, he pairs an engineer’s rigor with a designer’s eye and a founder’s discipline to deliver simple, elegant solutions that scale.
