Senior🎓
Top SchoolReed Mershon is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Diego with a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, microservice-driven systems and user-facing apps. He has a track record of driving measurable business impact—automating content pipelines that saved over $1M annually and developing referral and payment systems that materially improved conversions and partner payouts. Comfortable across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue/React, Docker and Kubernetes, he’s known for shipping reusable, well-tested code and rapidly onboarding into existing projects (e.g., ramped into a VueJS codebase in under two weeks). Promoted quickly early in his career, Reed blends practical engineering with product-minded execution, having helped win a multi-year client contract through a rapid POC at IBM. Outside of work he’s as likely to talk about cooking as debugging, reflecting a curious, creative problem-solving approach.
