Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Heaton is a seasoned Senior Frontend Software Engineer with 20 years of experience designing and shipping SaaS applications, UI architectures, and responsive, accessible interfaces. He blends pixel-perfect front-end craftsmanship (React, TypeScript, SCSS) with complementary server-side skills in Node/Express and databases like MongoDB and MySQL, enabling end-to-end product delivery. His career spans enterprise healthcare, energy, and large consumer platforms where he modernized legacy systems, consolidated websites, and built full-stack MERN solutions that improved operational efficiency and user workflows. An inventor credited on a 2018 patent, he also contributes to notable open-source Java projects—adding JAXB support and serializers to FasterXML/jackson and improving JAX-RS/JAX-WS tooling—reflecting a backend depth not always obvious from a front-end title. Based in Orem, Utah, he regularly experiments with AI tooling for media workflows and pragmatic automation to reduce costs and accelerate delivery.
