J Hardee

I am a Full-Stack Product Engineer and Interactive Designer with a decade of experience building production SaaS platforms and high-fidelity digital marketing experiences. I combine pixel-perfect visual storytelling with modern front-end technology to deliver performant, accessible products.

I've managed end-to-end product lifecycles, from bespoke Photoshop design systems and custom WordPress environments to scalable serverless architectures and edge deployments. I architect robust PostgreSQL schemas, implement CI/CD, and deliver zero-downtime migration pipelines.

My work includes AI/ML engineering for NLP-powered summarization that reduced manual reporting by 60%, building Rust/WebAssembly Shopify Checkout Extensions, and achieving 95+ Lighthouse performance scores through edge caching and analytics optimizations. I regularly integrate third-party services like Slack OAuth, Resend, and Bunny CDN to scale media and communications workflows.

I lead technical strategy and cross-functional collaboration, consulting on growth, conversion optimization, and accessibility (WCAG 2.1). I thrive at the intersection of design and engineering, helping teams ship reliable, delightful digital experiences.
