Summary
Layne Faler is a Senior Software Engineer based in Los Angeles with a decade of hands-on full‑stack experience building scalable web platforms and APIs across languages and clouds. He excels at unifying fragmented systems—most recently consolidating five Walmart Mexico sites into a single platform—and leads projects that translate legacy REST services into modern GraphQL and normalized API layers. Equally comfortable in frontend frameworks (React, Vue, server-side rendering) and backend stacks (Node, Rails, Django, Go/PHP), he chooses tools pragmatically to solve the problem rather than favoring a single language. He has practical AWS and HIPAA-compliant deployment experience and a track record of shipping resilient, test-covered systems in Agile teams. A habitual knowledge seeker, he brings curiosity-driven attention to detail, often building internal scaffolding and developer-facing tooling to improve team velocity.
