# Taylor Bornstein > Full Stack Engineer who builds things that actually ship · Web · AI · Integrations Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/taylorbornstein I build full-stack applications from scratch. I enjoy owning every part of the process. I enjoy being involved in every step. I design the schema and backend, and I also shape the frontend. I focus on integrations and deployment. I want to ensure that each layer is strong. In the last 7 years, I’ve tackled many projects. I built a real-time collaborative editor using CRDTs and AI tools. I also created a marketing analytics platform that merges data from over 8 sources. Additionally, I developed an automated PDF pipeline that saves hundreds of hours yearly. Lastly, I designed a custom vehicle control system on a Raspberry Pi. I’ve never really done the same thing twice, and that’s what keeps it interesting. Recently, I’ve been focused on AI. I'm building real systems with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, and computer vision models. I’m not just wiring up APIs; I’m focused on making AI genuinely useful in the product. I tend to do my best work in smaller teams where there’s real ownership, tough problems to solve, and a clear impact from what I’m building. If you’re working on something ambitious and need someone who can take it from idea to production, I’d love to connect. ## Work Experience ### Senior Full Stack Engineer @ MarketingPulse Jan 2025 – Jan 2026 ◦ Developed a centralized marketing analytics dashboard unifying data from 8+ platforms, saving marketers significant time by eliminating manual exports and tool-switching between platforms. ◦ Designed a multi-tenant PostgreSQL data model with partitioned metric tables and pre-computed aggregations, supporting fast query performance across large cross-channel datasets. ◦ Integrated OAuth 2.0 authorization for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Mailchimp, enabling secure API access on behalf of users with refresh token support to maintain persistent sessions. ◦ Built a custom first-party JavaScript tracking pixel with dynamic event configuration (URL patterns, button interactions), session history capture, and support for First Click, Last Click, and Linear attribution models. ◦ Replaced manual weekly reporting with an AI-generated insights feature that pulls live data from ad platforms, calculates week-over-week performance deltas, and uses a fine-tuned OpenAI model to surface underperforming campaigns and recommended next steps based on 90 days of historical data. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Lifebooks.io Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | San Diego, California, United States ◦ Built and shipped lifebooks.io end-to-end using Django, React, and PostgreSQL — a platform for families to collaboratively write, edit, and print commemorative memory books. ◦ Integrated an AI writing assistant into the collaborative editor to reduce the friction of writing a full memory book — helping users overcome blank pages, draft faster, and refine content together in real time using Socket.io and Yjs-powered conflict-free document syncing. ◦ Developed an automated pipeline in Python and LaTeX that converts user stories into print-ready PDFs, following manufacturer specifications and saving the company 500+ hours a year. ◦ Implemented a referral tracking system that gave affiliates real-time visibility into sign-ups and earnings, directly contributing to a 20% increase in customer growth. ### Full Stack Engineer @ Edisource Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 • Developed a real-time collaborative editor in React, enabling publisher teams to edit AI-generated draft articles seamlessly, leveraging WebSockets for efficient bidirectional communication and enhancing team productivity. • Integrated Google Gemini into the AI article generation pipeline, slashing errors by 90% and ensuring content stability, enhancing reliability for publishers. • Automated the review process by developing a direct integration to push freshly edited or AI-generated articles into Airtable, reducing manual workflows and accelerating content review cycles by 30%. • Led the migration of all user accounts to Clerk, eliminating the need for in-house user admin interfaces, reducing development and maintenance costs, and improving security and scalability. ### Lead Full Stack Engineer @ Welcome In Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 ◦ Developed a NextJS platform to streamline project communication between homeowners and builders, centralizing updates, approvals, and documentation in one place. ◦ Integrated ENERGY STAR product database and Gemini API to provide autocomplete suggestions and auto-populate product specifications, significantly reducing manual data entry for appliance cataloging. ◦ Implemented LlamaIndex-powered document parsing to automatically extract key specs, timelines, and requirements from contractor documents, reducing manual data entry by an estimated 3+ hours per project. ### Junior Full Stack Engineer @ Stacked Deck, LLC Jan 2019 – Jan 2023 ◦ Built and deployed 20+ WordPress and WooCommerce websites for advertising clients. ◦ Managed Ubuntu server infrastructure for client site hosting, deployment, and maintenance. ◦ Collaborated closely with a fellow engineer through pair programming and code reviews, sharing knowledge and building consistent development practices across the team. ◦ Developed custom WordPress plugins and themes tailored to client brand requirements. ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tbornstein - GitHub: https://github.com/HoldTheLettuce --- Source: https://flows.cv/taylorbornstein JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/taylorbornstein/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-20
