Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimon Coffin is a GraphQL Infrastructure Engineer at Gusto with about 3 years of professional software experience building full-stack systems that balance enforceable architecture with rapid iteration. He specializes in GraphQL, TypeScript, React, Node.js and Python, with a focus on the data/controller layer and measurable product impact — at Amplitude he led redesign and onboarding work that doubled conversion to weekly users and cut signup drop-off 20%, and at Medallia he reduced preview latency by over 75% while halving API network calls through smarter caching. A staunch advocate for UX and accessibility, he pairs front-end polish with backend ownership, including database migrations and integrations with Salesforce and Snowflake. His BFA and early film-career experience give him an uncommon eye for media types, quality and style that influences UI and media handling decisions. As an independent contractor he’s also delivered business-facing SQL and data solutions that materially improved client outcomes, showing a blend of curiosity, product sense and hands-on execution.
