Lev Kanter

🧑‍💻

Full-stack web developer with 16+ years experience leading, delivering, maintaining, and sweating the details of complex software engineering projects. Some things about me at a glance:

  • Based in Brooklyn, NY.
  • Comfortable in a variety of roles (including engineering management), but happiest when writing production code across the stack and collaborating with designers and other engineers.
  • Led both backend and frontend engineering projects at Catch for ~three years.
  • Co-founded and led the development team at Type/Code for a decade.
  • Taught a web development course at Parsons School of Design for five semesters.
