# Dennis Dang > Experimental Projects @ Stripe Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/dennisdang Building thoughtful software. I work across the stack, mostly in the web and fintech, sometimes in games. I care deeply about intellectual curiosity and clear thinking. My approach to engineering is rooted in transparency: every decision should have a reason, and every trade-off should be documented. I reliably ship code (or is it my agents now?), manage expectations, and always have a plan B and C. Whether it’s prototyping or firefighting, I enjoy it all.

I lead product from idea to launch—handling everything from strategy and UX to backend architecture and frontend polish. With a background in engineering and product, I move fast, think deeply, and ship with precision. I love working on systems that are real-time, secure, and scalable—especially when they’re solving important problems around money, health, or decentralized coordination. At B&S, we don’t just build software—we build things people actually want to use. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Valon Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York, New York, United States Valon is a modern mortgage servicer on a mission to simplify homeownership. We’re rebuilding the servicing experience from the ground up—with intuitive tech, transparent communication, and customer-first design—so homeowners can manage their mortgages with confidence and ease. ### Lead Software Engineer @ Yomi Games Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | New York, New York, United States Yomi Games is a web3 gaming studio building collectible and strategy games powered by blockchain. As Lead Software Engineer, I led global scaling efforts—building a secure custodial wallet management system, integrating Unity-based games with on-chain assets, and delivering seamless experiences for thousands of players worldwide. ### Co-Founder @ WeeLabs Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 ### Senior Software Engineer @ Kraken Digital Asset Exchange Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 NFT marketplace. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Canopy Inc. Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York City Metropolitan Area Building fintech for other fintechs. We’re building a modern lending API to let any savvy team build their dream lending and credit products. Here are a few examples of the many challenges we encounter every day. 1. How do we reliably integrate with the many payment processors a client may need? 2. How do ensure we process state changes (balances, fees, interests) in an immutable but simple manner? 3. Help, we have to build 100+ things and sometimes things can feel like they’re on fire. Which fire should we take out first? 4. I feel like I’m working too much! How do we ensure teammates maintain their health, psychological safety, and productivity in a fast growing team? 5. How do we grow as an async-first, remote company? Our tech is built on serverless tools, and we stick to the tried and true so we can innovate in our domain. Our stack is Nodejs, React, Postgres - simple as can be. But what we care about is productivity, maintainability, flexibility, and ultimately correctness. I designed and touched nearly every part of Canopy’s stack and business: frontend, api spec design, Metro2, payment processor integrations, keeping the ship afloat, leveling us all up together. ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Mount Sinai Health System Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | New York, New York Bringing consumer care to the modern age.
