Quickstart

Configure a DevEx Engineer for your team.

Time to complete: 2 minutes

Prerequisites:

A product with an API or complex developer workflow
Remote-friendly environment
Belief that documentation is a part of the product

Configuration

Create a taylor.config.js in your project root:

taylor.config.js

import { Candidate } from '@taylor-mcneil/core';

export default new Candidate({
  role: 'Developer Experience Engineer',
  version: '4.0.0', // Deprecates "Road Warrior" module
  location: 'Atlanta, GA (Remote)',
  
  capabilities: {
    technical_writing: true,
    full_stack_development: true,
    api_design: true,
    strategy: 'systems-first'
  },

  stack: {
    languages: ['TypeScript', 'Python', 'Java', 'SQL'],
    frameworks: ['Next.js', 'FastAPI', 'React', 'Django'],
    tools: ['OpenAPI', 'GitHub Actions', 'MongoDB'],
    ai_workflow: ['Prompt Engineering', 'Multi-Model Evaluation']
  },

  preferences: {
    remote: true,
    async_communication: true,
  }
});
