$Hey there, I'm Skye Grossman

About Me

Who I am and what I do

I build full-stack web applications, specializing in React, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Python, and Go.

Core Strengths

What I bring to the table

Skills I bring to my approach to every project.

• 01

  Full-Stack Development

  From database schema to the last pixel of the UI, I build features across every layer of the stack. Fewer handoffs means ideas reach production faster, with nothing lost in translation.

• 02

  Rapid Learning and Execution

  New framework, unfamiliar codebase, tight deadline. I ramp up fast and contribute early, because I learn by building. What I pick up turns into shipped work, not just notes.

• 03

  Mission-Driven Development

  Code is only as good as the problem it solves. I start with the user and the goal, build what moves the needle, and skip the shiny detours that don't.

A Process That Delivers

Ship great software with intent, clarity, and discipline.

1. Think

   Start with the why. Define the problem, the user, and what success looks like.

2. Design

   Map the data, the API, and the screens before writing a line.

3. Build

   Ship in small, tested, reviewed steps, so progress is real and visible.

4. Scale

   Automate deploys, watch what matters, and stay fast as usage grows.

How I Work

What you can count on from me, start to finish.

• Clear Communication

  Good code still needs a good story. I write pull requests that explain the why, raise risks before they become surprises, and keep stakeholders in the loop without the jargon.

• Tradeoff Awareness

  There's no best solution, only the right one for now. I weigh cost, complexity, and reversibility, write the reasoning down, and choose the simplest design that won't box us in later.

• Ownership Mindset

  Shipping is the start, not the finish. I watch what I release, chase down the bugs I cause, and leave every codebase a little better than I found it.

Projects

Holster

Holster is one search across every streaming service you already pay for. Say what you're in the mood for and it comes back with something you can watch tonight, on a service you have, with the poster, rating, cast, and where it's streaming.

What I'd do next: multiple watchlists, so you can sort what you want to watch into your own lists.
