# Brian Mendez > Collaborative Developer | Problem Solver | Clean Code Enthusiast | Mentor Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/brianmendez Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years building production-grade UIs across healthcare, e-commerce, and SaaS. I specialize in Vue 3 + TypeScript, GraphQL, and complex UI systems where the technical decisions actually matter. At REI, I shipped cross-team performance and personalization improvements, including an edge computing integration using Akamai that eliminated content flash across the site. At MCG Health, I built AI-assisted clinical tools that help care providers make faster, better-informed decisions, work where good UI has direct patient impact.
