Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavis Ford is a seasoned Frontend Engineer with 11 years building production-grade React and TypeScript applications, currently shaping SPAs at Kinetic. He’s led frontend work at major firms including JPMorgan Chase, Gemini, and Capital One, driving best practices, design systems, and developer productivity across monorepos and ML/AI-focused UIs. An entrepreneur and open-source maintainer, he created widely used tools like clean-text-utils (≈7.9k weekly downloads) and the AoS Reminders project, and has built commercial systems that shipped billions of emails and served clients like National Geographic. Davis favors fast modern stacks (Vite, react-query, Tailwind/Mantine, Zustand) and pairs pragmatic engineering with product-minded ownership—he “bangs his hands on the keyboard until it works,” often turning prototypes into resilient, scalable frontends. Based in Aurora, CO, he blends enterprise-scale architecture with indie-project creativity and a track record of shipping measurable impact.
