About Mandi Meidlinger

8+.When I couldn’t find the right e-commerce platform to support the community I was building for new moms, I did what any future front-end engineer would do. I wrote the UI myself.I’ve been building intuitive user experiences ever since.From bootstrapping Jillian’s Drawers into a thriving, multi-channel business that served over 50K customers, to leading the front-end strategy for a multimillion-dollar enterprise security application, my work has always been about building scalable, user-centric solutions that balance usability with profitability.As a front-end engineering leader with 10+ years of experience, a background as Head of Product, and foundational training as a physicist, I bring a rare blend of technical depth and business acumen. My early startup experience taught me that what matters most isn’t just beautiful UI. It’s building the right feature, at the right time, for the right customer. I build with empathy and deliver features that delight both users and stakeholders.I’ve led the development of Angular and React applications, optimized performance for large data sets, and grown, mentored high-performing teams, and architected front-end systems that are modular, maintainable, and scalable. What I bring:• A passion for clean, modular, scalable front-end architecture rooted in real-world business outcomes• Experience building and mentoring cross-functional teams from 0 to 15 people, including engineers, QA, and designers• Product-driven leadership with Head of Product experience—focused on profitability, user value, and speed to market• Strategic alignment with backend and DevOps teams to ensure robust data flows• Proven success scaling a multi-channel e-commerce business from idea to SKUs and 50K+ customers in under 2 years• A track record of building products that grow. fastIf you’re looking for a front-end leader who can move fast, build with empathy, and scale what matters, with both code and customer outcomes in mind, I’d love to chat.
