Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoss Angle is a versatile software engineer and designer with 16 years of experience building front-end and back-end systems, tooling, and DevOps for games and web platforms. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines practical fluency in JavaScript/Node.js, Java, Groovy, and Racket with deep interest in functional and reactive programming paradigms. He has shipped production work at companies like GSN and FunMobility and contributed to community projects such as a maintained Arc Lisp fork where he fixed security bugs, improved cross-platform support, and added CI/CD for automated docs. Beyond day-to-day engineering, Ross designs programming languages and developer libraries (era-platform, lathe), reflecting an uncommon blend of language theory and pragmatic engineering. He brings a mathematician’s rigor from a BA in Mathematics and a habit of exploring proof theory and dependent types, which informs his careful approach to system design. Outside of work he pursues interactive fiction tools, retro anime, TCGs, and reverse engineering, underscoring a creative curiosity that feeds his technical work.
