# Jason U. > Software Engineer | Creative Code | Audio Engineer Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jasonu I'm Jason Urbina — a Senior Software Engineer and UI Architect with 10+ years of experience building front-end systems that are just as strong under the hood as they are polished on the surface. I specialize in scalable design systems, clean code architecture, and modern web stacks (Vue, React, Angular, Node). I'm also well-versed in integrating LLMs and AI tools responsibly — not for shortcuts, but for supercharging delivery while maintaining quality and control. I've led engineering efforts at enterprise orgs like Samsung, Kaiser, and Williams Sonoma, and recently built out the first in-house engineering division at Tech In SF. I enjoy mentoring developers, building internal tooling, and guiding projects from design mockups to production-ready code — with strong opinions on maintainability and performance. If you're building something ambitious, thoughtful, and clean — let’s connect. **Languages & Frameworks:** Modern JavaScript (ES2023+), TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Python, Vue (incl.
