Crawford – React, AI-assisted coding, Typescript

Crawford is a senior full-stack engineer with deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, and AWS. He's repeatedly been the person who sets the technical foundation rather than inherits it — comfortable owning architecture, mobile, backend, and infrastructure decisions simultaneously. His instincts lean toward pragmatic simplicity over trend-chasing, and his track record shows consistent delivery in fast-moving, high-stakes product contexts.

Senior Software Engineer
Jul 2019 - Nov 20212 years 3 months
Project Overview

A blockchain-powered high-yield savings platform designed to give everyday retail investors access to inflation-beating returns — without needing to hold crypto.

Responsibilities:
  • Developed the API architecture using scalable, reusable patterns and tests;
  • Implemented UIs and Playwright tests;
  • Built and maintained a service for managing all financial transactions and balance reconciliation within the application;
  • Created a PDF generation API for client statement generation;
  • Built internal Python libraries published on PyPI, including an SDK for Circle, ZeroHash, and “django-crawfish,” a Django-specific collection of utilities.

Sep 2018 - Jul 201910 months
Project Overview

A peer-to-peer parking marketplace for urban apartment and condo buildings, letting residents rent out their unused parking spots to neighbors. The platform handled reservations, secure payments via Stripe, and SMS/email notifications — keeping all transactions within the building community for added security.

Responsibilities:
  • Designed and built the full-stack architecture from the ground up using React, Django, Django REST Framework, and GraphQL, owning both frontend and backend across the entire product lifecycle.
  • Implemented a real-time parking availability and reservation system, handling booking logic, conflict resolution, and spot management for multi-unit residential buildings.
  • Integrated Stripe for secure peer-to-peer payments with escrow-style transaction handling, ensuring hosts were paid only upon successful reservation completion.
  • Set up automated SMS notifications via Twilio and transactional emails via SendGrid to keep hosts and guests informed throughout the booking flow.
  • Leveraged Celery and Redis for asynchronous task processing and background job management, supporting scheduled notifications and deferred payment workflows.
  • Used PostgreSQL as the primary data store, designing schemas to support multi-tenancy across buildings, users, and parking spots.
