Summary
Loring Dodge is a product-focused front-end engineer and co-owner based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building customer-facing web applications and internal tools. He joined startups as an early engineer and has shipped complex features from scheduling and client portals to Twilio-powered messaging, PDF generation, and third-party hardware integrations using React, Next, TypeScript, GraphQL, Python, and MongoDB. At Patreon he worked on growth-driven experiments, checkout/address flows, and a merch automation product, blending revenue-focused experimentation with polished UX. He’s pragmatic about delivery—driving migrations (Angular→React), creating component libraries and Storybook-driven templates, and formalizing interview and scrum practices to scale teams. Unusually for a frontend lead, he’s comfortable spanning full-stack integrations and ops concerns, from S3 media workflows to third-party API orchestration.
