Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeah Chang is a front-end focused web engineer based in the NYC area with 10 years of experience building accessible, reusable UI and CMS features using React, Next.js, Apollo/GraphQL, TypeScript, SASS, and Ruby on Rails. At NYC Parks she led technical and UX planning, shipped mission-critical components and interactive maps, and documented a design system in Storybook to help scale cross-team development. Comfortable working across the stack, she balances pragmatic engineering with clear specification writing and mentorship of junior developers. Her background includes rapid prototyping and API integrations from freelance projects and a Rails-heavy bootcamp portfolio, showing a knack for turning user needs into polished, production-ready interfaces. Outside work she’s a problem-solver who refuels creativity through cooking, climbing, and caring for her cat, which subtly informs her user-first design sensibility.
