Summary
Rowan Kurnett is a full-stack web engineer based in Los Angeles with nine years of experience, specializing in front-end development using React, Node, and TypeScript while also exploring systems programming with Rust and Go. He has led engineering efforts and small teams to improve real-time data streaming and scalable architectures, notably migrating support tooling to a backend-for-frontend pattern to preserve velocity as services grew. Rowan shipped high-impact features that shifted company strategy—building a bulk-purchasing pipeline that came to account for over half of Mothership’s revenue—and created a reusable React component library now used across multiple products. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs pragmatic engineering with mentorship and documentation, and moonlights as a game developer, bringing a playful, product-minded perspective to UX and performance challenges.
