Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTristan Hilbert is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, cost-conscious web applications for startups and academia. He has repeatedly architected and shipped end-to-end systems—from click-funnel market pages and web-hosting features to reward-transfer backends handling thousands of daily atomic operations—while improving reliability with monitoring, fraud detection, and test coverage. Comfortable as a solo developer or mentor, Tristan has reduced hosting costs by 90%, led debugging efforts that fixed crashes for the majority of users, and taught engineering fundamentals to students and colleagues. Based in Ann Arbor, he blends Agile and top-down design approaches, prefers performant frameworks (React, Tailwind, Spring, Docker), and is curious about distributed cryptography and graphical shaders for future projects.
