Senior🎓
Top SchoolLindsay Cade is a full-stack software engineer in San Francisco with 13 years of professional experience and a decade-plus background in web development using Ember.js, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScript. They’ve led frontend and backend projects at companies like Percy and AltSchool, improving performance at scale (notably a 30% speedup in Percy’s visual-diff pipeline) and shipping large Ember apps with strong test coverage. Lindsay’s work bridges product and infrastructure—rewriting core analysis code, building UI for thousands of snapshots, and contributing Rails APIs and billing/customer migration tooling. Their earlier bioinformatics and lab experience gives them uncommon strength in data-heavy pipelines and experimental analysis, while a BFA in illustration informs a refined sense of visual design in UI work. A year-long world trip and teaching roles reflect curiosity, resilience, and an ability to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences.
