Software Engineer — Kansas City

Sean Slicer

I build full-stack products and the data systems behind them — and I lean hard into AI-assisted, agentic development to ship faster.

About

I'm Sean a software engineer who likes shipping things that hold up. I care about clean data, fast feedback loops, and tools that make a team quicker. Lately I've leaned hard into AI-assisted, agentic development workflows to move from idea to working software with less friction.

Projects

Built for the love of building.

SoSoc

2023 — Present

A full social platform, built from scratch.

Next.js 15tRPCSupabasePrismaTypeScriptVitestReact Native / Expo
  • Feed with infinite scroll, photo posts, real-time DMs and group chats, notifications, and private accounts with follow-request approval.
  • Rolled custom JWT auth with bcrypt instead of a library, plus sliding-window rate limiting on all auth endpoints to block brute-force attempts.
  • Shipped a React Native / Expo mobile app sharing the same tRPC API, with Supabase Realtime for live updates and expo-secure-store for tokens.
  • Developed with agentic Claude Code workflows guided by a CLAUDE.md spec; fully typed with strict TypeScript and Vitest coverage.
