Summary
Thomas Valadez is a software engineering manager and co-founder with 10+ years building full-stack web platforms and developer-focused products. He blends hands-on engineering (Node.js, Go, TypeScript, PHP, SQL/NoSQL) with product-minded architecture work—designing monorepos, API gateways, and faster build pipelines that cut CI times from 15+ minutes to under 4. At Mango he led an 8-person team, migrated large legacy surfaces, standardized API tooling, and coordinated internationalization and cross-team integrations like a desktop Call-Pop experience. As a founder at SoundSculpt he engineered real-time audio rendering in the browser using SharedArrayBuffers, Web Workers, and Audio Worklets, showing an uncommon mix of web and audio-systems expertise. Earlier roles at Kolla and Weave HQ focused on deployment frequency, type-safety across boundaries, and improving incident metrics, reflecting a consistent bias for developer productivity. Based in St. George, Utah, he pairs pragmatic leadership with a continuous-learning ethos informed by books like Accelerate and Shape Up.
