Shawn Rice is a frontend-focused Staff Engineer with 11 years of experience building user-centered web applications and leading teams from greenfield Next.js projects to large legacy migrations. He champions simplicity, test coverage, and rigorous code review, having improved performance and developer experience by migrating a production app off Redux and instituting scalable testing patterns across multiple companies. Comfortable both shipping revenue-generating features and supporting 24/7 mission-critical systems, Shawn pairs technical leadership with hands-on delivery and has led dozens of technical interviews and mentorship engagements. Based in Charleston, he brings a creative background (BFA in Theatre) that informs his emphasis on UX and clear communication, and outside work he describes himself as a web developer and "music snob," hinting at a detail-oriented, taste-driven approach to craft.
