Stella Tan
@stellatan
Senior full-stack engineer focused on UX and AI-augmented development.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack engineer with 5+ years at J.P. Morgan, building internal web applications for financial operations. My work is shaped by a keen eye for UX—translating complex engineering constraints into actionable language for product managers and stakeholders, and turning business requirements into precise technical specifications.
I’ve led modernization efforts across the frontend and backend, including migrating UI capabilities to AG Grid, Vite, WebSocket, and Redux to improve performance and developer experience. I’ve built Java REST APIs with comprehensive JUnit and Cucumber coverage, and I’m an early adopter of AI development tools like GitHub Copilot and LLM Suite—piloting use cases such as AI-assisted test generation and automated documentation drafting. I also mentor engineers on frontend best practices and ship with hands-on Figma involvement.
