πŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Lloan Alas

I’m a senior frontend engineer with 10+ years of experience building fast, accessible, and scalable web applications across desktop and mobile. I specialize in React-driven frontend architecture and WordPress full-stack development, with a strong focus on performance, privacy, and long-term maintainability.

Most recently, I’ve worked across large, distributed teams at Warner Bros. Discovery, Mozilla, and Esri, contributing to products used at scale and helping teams modernize legacy systems without sacrificing stability or delivery speed.

I care deeply about craftsmanship, collaboration, and building software that genuinely helps people.

πŸ”­ What I’m Up To

  • Open to Frontend and WordPress Full-Stack roles
  • Actively learning game modding

  • Interested in contributing to open-source projects

🀝 How I Like to Work

I’m most effective in environments that value:

  • Real-world problem solving over trivia
  • Thoughtful technical discussions and tradeoffs
  • Inclusive, psychologically safe teams
  • Sustainable pace and healthy work-life balance

In interviews, I perform best when we can discuss past projects, architecture decisions, and real codeβ€”the same way work actually happens day-to-day.

  • M.S. ICT (Software Design & Programming) β€” University of Denver
