Skylar Salerno is a seasoned software engineer with 10 years of experience building data-driven, production-ready systems that span backend, data pipelines, and user-facing React interfaces. They specialize in turning complex datasets into actionable products using Python, SQL, BigQuery, and well-versioned REST/GraphQL APIs, and have a strong track record of authoring performant queries and ETL pipelines for KPI-driven dashboards. Skylar has shipped features that improved pricing decisions, reduced support overhead, and increased reliability, and more recently delivered AI-powered internal tools, Slack integrations, and knowledge retrieval systems as a freelance engineer. Comfortable working end-to-end from data modeling to UI, they value clean architecture, thoughtful data models, and collaborative practices like code reviews and clear stakeholder communication. Based in New York, Skylar brings startup experience as an early hire and a background across JavaScript, Ruby, and Java, pairing pragmatic product sensibility with deep technical craft.
