Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/alexmolaei

Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 10+ years building web UIs and product features in TypeScript, React/Stencil, and JavaScript. I focus on data-driven interfaces, async API integration, reusable components, and collaborating with Product and Design to ship predictable, maintainable frontend work.

I’ve worked across project-based implementations and internal product teams, building UIs for enterprise environments in finance, healthcare, aerospace/defense, automotive, and industrial domains. My recent work includes building component-driven UI libraries and user-facing, AI / LLM features.

I’m at my best embedded with a team—breaking work into clear steps, handling edge-cases, asking good questions, and communicating clearly with backend partners. I value steady progress, thoughtful trade-offs, and code that other people can build on.
