Summary
Taylor Herron is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience building full-stack applications and managing cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP. At Tapad he splits time between UI and infrastructure teams, owning 15+ internal and external apps and leading architecture and delivery for customer-facing APIs and platform control planes. He blends a musician’s sensibility for structure and creativity with pragmatic engineering—regularly performing cost-benefit analyses, modernizing systems with Terraform/Helm, and shipping TypeScript/Node.js and Angular solutions. Comfortable from Spark jobs to Kubernetes, he’s as likely to refactor code for clarity as he is to document roadmaps and lead cross-functional projects. Outside work he composes, cooks, and climbs mountains, a hint of the discipline and curiosity he applies to solving thorny technical problems.
