Profile: https://flows.cv/taylorvann

I'm a full-stack software developer specializing in human-computer interaction with a background in distributed systems and new media.

I've built tools that plan server lifecycles at Facebook.
I've deployed web components at scale at Google.
I brought web components to the React ecosystem at Google Lit.

I am not interested in Artificial Intelligence projects unless your company operates in an actual bio / engineering space. I know distributed systems and I know y'all are lighting money on fire for features that are not deterministic (aka mostly useless).

Please reach out if you'd like to know more.

My stack includes but is not limited to:
Typescript Javascript HTML CSS JavaScript Python Rust Golang PostgreSQL Docker Podman
