Summary
Nathan Heller is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 10 years of experience building user-centered frontend systems using React, TypeScript, Node, and GraphQL. He partners closely with designers and product teams to deliver accessible, high-performance interfaces and has a track record of shipping customer-facing products from startups to enterprise (Ro, Better.com, American Express, and Alloy). Nathan pairs frontend craftsmanship with pragmatic data and observability practices—using tools like Datadog, Sentry, and Metabase—to close the loop between UX research and engineering. He’s comfortable stretching into backend work (Python/Django) and has led technical improvements such as shared component libraries and streaming optimizations that improved reliability and testing. With a background in writing and editorial work, he brings strong communication skills and a knack for translating complex requirements into clear, maintainable UIs. He stays disciplined on HTML, CSS, and core JavaScript so he can adapt quickly as new frameworks and patterns emerge.
