He blends hands-on coding with people development and high-level system design, having led teams and architecture efforts across fintech and consumer platforms at companies like Bank of America, Passport, and Red Ventures. Sean has a strong Node.js and React background, built real-time, socket-based sales and chat platforms, and scaled developer tooling and CI systems for high-traffic sites.
