Brian Cilenti

I’m a frontend developer with an enthusiasm for DX, velocity, and cutting-edge tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT. My mechanical engineering background drives my systematic approach to problem-solving and optimization.

I consider myself a skilled communicator; As such, I prioritize clear, concise messaging and leverage tools like Loom to send dense information efficiently, minimizing noise, maximizing impact, and saving time.

I treat users of apps I work on as guests, aiming to provide efficient workflows that respect their time and effort. I value pragmatic solutions that balance velocity and quality, and adhere to a "strong opinions, loosely held" mindset.

Staying current with modern practices and trends is crucial in web development. I actively follow React community thought leaders on platforms like X.com, which keeps my work aligned with the latest advancements.
