Summary
Spencer Carney is a Staff Engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading front-end teams across startups and product companies from Los Angeles. He blends hands-on JavaScript expertise (TypeScript, React, Material UI) with engineering management—coaching teams, shaping agile processes, and driving upgrades like MUI v4→v5 and Yarn 2 PnP. Spencer has repeatedly turned design intent into ship-ready UI systems, introduced testing and functional paradigms into CI/CD pipelines, and shipped integrations from Chrome extensions to Twilio-enabled audio features. He’s comfortable scaling remote teams, mentoring engineers, and translating data and ML models into production REST services. A self-described "vim snob" and front-end obsessive, he combines tooling polish with pragmatic product focus to reduce delivery risk and improve developer onboarding.
