Perry Julian
Software Engineer
Building dynamic and efficient, digital experiences with an emphasis on performance and simplicity.
Good software is invisible. It just works, loads fast, and gets out of the way. That’s the bar I build to. I’m a software engineer in the DMV crafting web applications that balance sharp engineering with real usability.
I believe the best products are built by people who care about the whole picture. The architecture, the interface, and the person on the other side of the screen. That’s the standard I hold myself to, whether I’m leading a team or heads-down in a feature.
When I’m not shipping code, I’m always up for a sidequest. New city, new trail, good people, whatever sounds good.
Currently building at Webflow. Check out my feed to see what I’ve been up to, or reach out if you want to connect.
