Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShelly Cheng is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with around a decade of hands-on experience architecting modern web and cross-platform applications. She specializes in React and TypeScript ecosystems—shipping robust state management with Redux Toolkit, React Query, and Zustand—and has a track record of splitting monoliths into secure hybrid architectures that enable seamless SSO and faster delivery. Beyond feature work she builds engineering flywheels: Docker Compose local stacks, GitHub Actions CI/CD, automated testing, and modular component libraries that measurably accelerate development. She’s led and mentored teams to full retention while driving migrations (SVN→GitHub), incident response, and observability improvements that cut resolution time significantly. Notably, she implemented a real-time WebSocket conversation system that reduced latency by 70% and engineered cross-domain encrypted cookie sync for seamless authenticated experiences. Her background in technology management and product-facing infrastructure gives her a pragmatic edge for bridging design, product, and engineering.
