Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaylor Allred is a senior software engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience delivering full-stack systems and leading technical teams across startups and product companies. He’s fluent in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python/Django, Ruby/Rails and Rust, and has driven measurable performance gains—such as reducing a Rust forecasting API p95 from 11s to ~1s and shrinking a front-end bundle from 8.5MB to 1.1MB. As a technical co-founder he recruited and managed distributed teams, owned product-facing features like mortgage monitoring and multi-channel notifications, and improved CI/CD and test automation practices. Taylor pairs an uncommon academic background in Philosophy & Linguistics with an M.S. in Computer and Data Science, which informs clear system design and pragmatic trade-offs. He’s comfortable across cloud-native tooling (Docker, GCP, Kubernetes), integrations with third-party APIs, and mentoring engineers on testing and code maintainability. Based in Draper, Utah, he combines deep individual-contributor impact with experience scaling engineering practices across international teams.
