Caleb Benjamin

Senior Frontend Engineer · React, TypeScript & Next.js

I'm passionate about understanding how things work, building great products, and using technology to solve meaningful business problems.

I'm a hands-on Senior Frontend / Product Engineer with 6+ years of experience building and owning production applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern web technologies. Currently, exploring DevOps, cloud architecture, and AI-assisted development to build better products faster.

At EachBlock, I work across product strategy, architecture, and leading the engineering team, taking products from ambiguous ideas through implementation and launch. I work closely with founders and non-technical stakeholders, turning business requirements into clear technical decisions and reliable software.

I care deeply about ownership. I don't just write features; I think about the product as a whole, its architecture, performance, maintainability, user experience, and how it can continue to evolve as the business grows.

I also use AI coding tools such as Claude Code as part of my everyday development workflow, helping me move faster while keeping engineering quality and thoughtful decision-making at the center.

Outside of client and product work, I'm building SaaS products of my own, with a long-term goal of creating a portfolio of businesses generating $100K+ in MRR. 🎯 You can find them here.

PredictHub— Sports Prediction Marketplace

Lead Full-Stack Engineer

The hardest problem was multi-tenancy auth with row-level security and custom JWTs. Supabase RLS assumes auth.uid() comes from a Supabase session token — but the app issues its own JWTs via NestJS Passport, making auth.uid() always null and silently blocking every write and owner-scoped read. The fix required a deliberate architectural rule enforced at the service layer.
