Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWade Bourne is a software engineer from San Francisco with seven years of hands-on experience building backend systems and developer tooling, having started at Replit at age 15 and grown from intern to full-time engineer. He specializes in JavaScript and Node.js ecosystems—TypeScript, GraphQL, Express, Jest, and build tooling—and has deep experience modernizing codebases and testing infrastructures. Notably, he contributed significant TypeScript refactors and logging/test improvements to the widely used Sequelize ORM, improving build scripts and source maps for broader compatibility. Wade is self-taught and comfortable moving between shipping product code and improving developer experience, a pattern that accelerated his early career. He’s now exploring robotics, bringing a software-first perspective to hardware control and embedded systems. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who trades jargon for working, well-tested solutions.
