California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSeamus Leahy is a front-end software engineer with 13 years of experience building production web apps and leading cross-functional teams at companies from startups to Dropbox, Labelbox, and Otter.ai. He combines deep UI engineering—React, TypeScript, Remix/Next.js, Tailwind—and pragmatic product sense, having shipped features that grew ARR by $4M and built tooling used from engineers to C-suite. At Labelbox he re-architected a text-classification editor to support BERT-style workflows and complex text layouts, and at Dropbox he designed regression detection analytics to catch costly acquisition issues. He mentors engineers, authors custom linter rules and interview frameworks, and favors a human-centered approach to code that anticipates future maintainers and UX writers. Based in California, he’s equally comfortable shipping fast for startups and shaping long-lived systems in larger orgs.
