Derek Dinsmore

Front End Engineer

Hi! I'm Derek, a Staff Front End Engineer with 10+ years of experience building accessible, scalable, and high-impact user interfaces across the education, fintech and SaaS industries. At Bitly, I lead the team behind our ad platform ($1M+ monthly revenue) and Bitly Pages, driving strategy, technical direction and execution.

I thrive in product-minded engineering roles—owning delivery, mentoring devs, shaping cross-functional roadmaps and championing standards in accessibility and testing. I've architected mobile apps from zero to production (React Native), scaled component libraries and led testing transformations that reduced bugs by over 30%.

I bring hands-on leadership, empathy and a bias toward action—and I enjoy working with smart teams building products people love.
