Summary
👤
SeniorBen Bean is a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 12+ years building and leading full-stack and mobile teams to deliver secure, scalable products across React, React Native, TypeScript/Node.js, Ruby on Rails, and event-driven AWS architectures. He has repeatedly improved reliability and delivery velocity—most recently reducing p90 latency by ~75% and error rates from ~1.2% to ~0.01% while managing a distributed team owning the Trips domain. As a founder and early engineer at a Techstars- and NBC-backed startup, he architected automated live-streaming and media pipelines on Kubernetes and AWS IoT, cutting manual post-production and enabling scalable content operations. Ben blends hands-on engineering (from CI/CD and observability to microservices and serverless) with people leadership, coaching engineers through regular 1:1s and performance cycles. Based in Austin, he favors a DevOps-first culture and has applied AI-assisted tooling to boost developer velocity and code consistency—an example of pragmatic innovation beyond traditional management practices.
