Dario Sanchez

Lead frontend engineer, but I also tackle MLA’s broader tech work.

• Query and state management: Led migration to Redux Toolkit (+ RTK Query), and with the help of another engineer we transitioned our entire frontend for a more maintainable and scalable codebase.
• Recruitment and mentorship: Similar to my previous role, I’ve helped grow our team by interviewing, hiring, and mentoring new engineers to help them succeed.
• Data analysis: I know how to analyze data, and I've used these skills to help us create visualizations and internal tools that guide better business decisions.

Lead frontend engineer at a ~10 person startup. Steered significant tech initiatives within a fast-paced culture where I wore many hats, made key UX/design decisions, and contributed to our success in getting acquired.

• Built most of the frontend: Leading GitHub contributor to the codebase out of any company employee in its entire history.
• Spearheaded TypeScript adoption: Led the charge in converting our frontend to TypeScript, improving DX and eliminating an entire class of bugs.
• Business-focused development: Worked closely with people across teams to ensure our technical decisions aligned with business goals.
• Frontend mentorship leadership: Hired engineers and mentored them in best practices and problem-solving methods to help them succeed.
