Hey, I'm Dylan Hensel

I’m a passionate software engineer with nearly a decade of experience building scalable, high-impact web applications and systems. I specialize in full-stack development, working across React, Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud platforms to deliver elegant, performant solutions. Beyond the code, I care deeply about user experience, technical quality, and mentoring teams to do their best work. I’m driven by curiosity, creativity, and a love for solving complex problems that make a meaningful difference.

Beyond Engineering

Outside of tech, I’m a passionate supporter of the arts, live music, and community-driven initiatives. I believe that creativity and technology go hand in hand, and I actively engage in projects that merge the two. Whether it's supporting local musicians and artists, attending live performances, or collaborating on creative projects in film production and music theory, I find inspiration in the intersection of art and technology.

I also dedicate time to community service and mentorship, working closely with charities like Audai.org , which focuses on social impact through technology, and Paws4Life, an organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating shelter animals. Giving back is important to me, whether through mentoring aspiring developers, volunteering, supporting grassroots organizations, or working on tech-for-good initiatives that create meaningful change.
