Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSophia Chen is a Senior Full Stack Engineer and Director of Product Development with 10 years of experience building and maturing web platforms from architecture to production. She leads technical strategy and hands-on execution—refactoring legacy code, defining project conventions, and reducing tech debt while shipping React/TypeScript and Node/NestJS systems backed by PostgreSQL and MongoDB. At Payer Sciences she’s doubled as a delivery lead and SCRUM-certified practitioner who drives SPIKEs, E2E improvements, and admin features that turned multi-month implementations into days. She’s pragmatic about developer experience, inventing Docker workarounds for Apple M1 pain points and introducing dynamic local builds and CI-friendly practices. Comfortable across front-end, backend, and infrastructure (Cypress/Jest, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps), she also translates complex business logic into clear documentation and onboarding for teams and clients. Based in Morristown, NJ, Sophia pairs a product-minded engineering approach with a background in international business and Japanese study, which informs her clear cross-functional communication.
