# Howard Stickley > Staff Software Engineer | Full-Stack Development | TypeScript Specialist | Architecting Extensible, Scalable Solutions Location: Greater Philadelphia, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/howardstickley I’m a Senior Fullstack Engineer with a frontend focus, building seamless, scalable web experiences with React and delivering end-to-end solutions that drive real product impact. On the frontend, I specialize in architecting intuitive UIs, crafting reusable component systems, and optimizing performance for speed and accessibility. But I’m just as comfortable diving into backend logic, APIs, and databases to ensure everything behind the interface runs just as smoothly. I’ve contributed to and led fullstack initiatives across production-scale apps, balancing product vision with technical execution, collaborating across disciplines, and mentoring junior engineers along the way. My approach is pragmatic, user-first, and grounded in clean architecture and maintainable code. I bring calm to complexity, clarity to cross-functional work, and a commitment to engineering excellence from database to browser. I’m excited by roles where I can build impactful systems, grow alongside thoughtful teams, and keep leveling up both the product and the people around me. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer @ Wonder Jan 2026 – Present Led architecture and cross-team delivery of major GH+ initiatives, including Amazon Pay integration and Linking with Amazon Prime, Consolidating Checkout coordinating across Payments, Authentication, Mobile, and Partner Engineering teams.
