Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSierra Swaby is a frontend engineer with nine years of experience who blends design sensibility with product-minded engineering to turn ideas into polished, user-centered digital experiences. She has a track record of owning and modernizing large front-end surfaces—from refactoring jQuery into React and improving accessibility to maintaining 35+ apps and driving test coverage improvements—while also contributing to developer tooling such as the Reactime time-travel debugger. Based in the NYC area, Sierra pairs hands-on implementation (React, Hooks, Chrome extensions, Golang backends) with customer-facing product work at L'OCCITANE, where she translates store insights into feature proposals and drives campaign KPIs. She excels at bridging cross-functional teams, mentoring on-call rotations, and shipping reusable components and automation that improve developer velocity and business outcomes. An unexpected thread through her career is a strong focus on observability and state management—bringing debugging and snapshot import/export capabilities to open-source tooling to make complex UIs easier to reason about.
