About 20 years building for the web. I started on the front-end and have moved deliberately between leadership (up to director of 40+ engineers) and principal-level IC work.
Most recently I led a distributed team at EasyPost to build a 0-1 product for SMBs, and moved an acquired Angular/PHP app onto React/Next. Before that I built and led web performance teams at a Vox Media and Etsy. I've built design systems at three companies.
Looking for a hands-on role: senior or staff front end, or a team lead who still writes code. Especially interested in smaller companies that are still forming their process and harness around AI workflows. Also open to contract work on performance, design systems, or front-end architecture.

Ask HN: How do you make a good screencast?
I've been trying to make a good screencast, but since I'm a bit of a perfectionist I'm running into some difficulties. So far I've approached it in two ways:1) Record the screencast and audio at the same time. This leads to me using a lot of "um"s and "uh"s and seeing lots of little mistakes. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I'd like it to look and sound more polished.2) Record the...
