Marni Brewster is a Senior Software Engineer based in Philadelphia with a decade of experience building front-end applications using React and Next.js. She currently ships user-facing features at AllTrails and has held senior engineering roles at Sift and AboveBoard, bringing product-focused UI expertise to mid-stage companies. Her open-source contributions include front-end work on the widely used polkadot-js/apps, where she implemented and refactored account management components—showing comfort with complex, domain-specific UIs. Marni’s background is unusually interdisciplinary: she studied physics and fine art, a combination that surfaces in thoughtful, well-crafted interfaces and a pragmatic approach to problem solving. Comfortable both as a hands-on contributor and a cross-functional collaborator, she excels at turning design intent into reliable, maintainable React code.
