@bennasedkin
Senior full-stack engineer specializing in AI-integrated web products.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior full-stack engineer with a design MA and ten years of experience shipping web products across fintech, B2B SaaS, and specialized platforms. I combine product design sensibilities with hands-on engineering to own projects end-to-end from architecture through delivery.
I've led teams of up to eight people and managed client relationships, project scoping, and technical architecture while delivering production systems. My recent focus is integrating LLMs and AI into production — I designed and shipped an AI-powered lead capture system at Klingit.
Technically, I work across JavaScript and TypeScript stacks (React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt), backend runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun), deployment and CI/CD, and database integrations. I've implemented reusable component libraries, design systems, automated testing, and infrastructure for multiple clients.
I also build side projects and tools — from a Rust-based text calculator to macOS transcription and TypeScript RAG chatbots — demonstrating a pragmatic approach to tooling, automation, and product-focused engineering.
