Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Ashley is a Senior Frontend Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications and developer-facing UI libraries. He led large re-architectures and cross-team initiatives at LinkedIn—migrating REST to GraphQL, moving JS to TypeScript, and creating a declarative, server-rendered Jobs experience and reusable form system that improved consistency and developer ergonomics. Comfortable across product and technical ownership, he ships accessible, server-driven components (carousels, pills, highlight cards) and shapes API and UX design decisions. His open-source front-end contributions include UI-focused improvements to a widely used intl-tel-input plugin, reflecting a pragmatic attention to event handling and UX details. Now based in New York and currently at Bilt, he combines large-company systems thinking with hands-on front-end craftsmanship and a knack for turning messy client codebases into maintainable, declarative platforms.
