Top SchoolNick Radford is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 12 years of hands-on full-stack experience, predominantly building JavaScript-first frontends and distributed backend services. He has shipped production systems across startups and large organizations—from architecting CI and data visualization tools for autonomous vehicle simulations at Cruise to shaping merchant-facing Shopify integrations and async job/webhook systems as an early hire at Govalo. Currently at Heyday he works on cross-platform AI-powered memory assistants spanning web, browser extension, mac native, Electron, and React Native apps, demonstrating a knack for multi-platform UX consistency. Nick blends pragmatic engineering with mentoring and platform thinking—having established conventions and internal tooling that reduced operational friction—and often prototypes data workflows end-to-end, moving from BigQuery extraction through Python shaping to interactive visualizations. He’s seeking a remote full-stack role where he can continue pairing frontend polish with backend reliability.
