Morgan Ney

GrowthLoop / Senior Frontend Engineer (Full-Stack & Infrastructure Focus)

February 2025 – Present

• Led development of GrowthLoop's React component library (Hylo), establishing typed token contracts, theme/cascade-layer styling architecture, WCAG-conscious primitives, and a shared Vite/Storybook pipeline for consistent UI across product lines.
• Architected a non-isolated Vitest infrastructure that cut CI runtime by 93% (15.5m to 67s) for 1,900+ tests across 200+ files, and now scales to 3,000+ tests across 327+ files (~32s local, ~158s on GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest).
• Architected and evolved a local-first Playwright E2E ecosystem across GitLab and GitHub Actions using Docker, with modular test-data seeding and transaction-based validation to catch schema regressions early.
• Engineered a real-time data-mapping engine with React Flow and PostgreSQL, using an indexed materialized view plus since_token polling to reduce server load and UI re-renders.

Athena Advisory (Contract) / Senior Frontend Engineer

August 2024 – January 2025

Frontend Infrastructure & Tooling

2023 – Present

• Architected @knighted/develop, a UI component workbench with compiler-as-a-service that delivers CDN-served JSX and CSS compilation, live previews, integrated type checking, and linting, serving as a high-fidelity demonstration of @knighted/jsx and @knighted/css.
• Built @morganney/swc-walk, a high-performance AST traversal utility for the SWC ecosystem with strong community adoption for compiler-adjacent workflows.
• Created @knighted/duel and @knighted/specifier to automate dual ESM/CJS builds and module specifier rewrites, reducing interoperability friction in complex Node.js environments.
