Frontend engineer at Storyblok. 5+ year open source contributor to sttm.co.
I lead systems, not just features.
Led frontend development of Storyblok's native A/B experimentation platform — variant story architecture, experiment lifecycle state machines, results dashboard, and analytics instrumentation. Responsible for performance and correctness across the full feature surface.
Owned performance on a structural content merge/diff system. Moved heavy diffing computations off the main thread via Web Workers — ensuring the merge engine doesn't block UI regardless of content size or complexity.
Long-term contributor to a large-scale real-time frontend platform. Key contributions:
- TypeScript migration across a large codebase
- WebSocket real-time integration layer
- SAML-based SSO authentication
- Cypress E2E testing strategy
- Autoplay automation tooling
- State architecture for
sttm-desktop - React integration across desktop and legacy environments
Rules for enforcing architectural constraints at lint time — import boundaries, naming conventions, cross-layer violations. Decisions encoded into tooling instead of documentation.
Technical reviewer for published engineering books — focused on correctness of frontend architecture concepts, system design clarity, and real-world applicability of React and TypeScript patterns.

Systems over components — I think in architectures, not UI pieces
Predictability over cleverness — maintainable state matters more than shortcuts
Performance as a default — not an afterthought
Encode decisions into tooling — if it lives only in a doc, it will be forgotten
