What I'm looking for
I am a frontend developer with deep React.js experience and a proven track record as a co-founder at Joppy, where I lead front-end development and help shape product direction. Over more than a decade I have delivered design-forward, front-end implementations across startups and product companies.
I have built production React applications for companies including Trovit, letgo and Joppy, and I bring a blend of design sensibility and front-end engineering to every project. I am collaborative, product-minded, and focused on shipping performant, maintainable user interfaces.
