Summary
Wesley Waters is a Principal Engineer based in Los Angeles who blends full‑stack craftsmanship with a passion for open‑source, especially as an active contributor to Svelvet where he helped launch v8.0. In three years of focused engineering roles he’s shipped performant Next.js architectures, serverless APIs, and type‑safe Svelte components while applying TDD and strong CI/CD practices. Wesley pairs front‑end UX sensibilities—drag-and-drop Svelte dynamics and Tailwind‑driven design—with robust backend work like PostgreSQL, OAuth2, and scalable API patterns. He’s also comfortable mentoring teams and translating product needs into headless CMS and e‑commerce systems that improve developer productivity and business outcomes. Outside work he regularly contributes to open‑source projects and can often be found at the dog park, reflecting a collaborative, community‑oriented mindset.
