Jorge Valle

Front End Engineer

I'm a conscientious and reliable front end engineer, with a particular love for usability and pixel-perfect experiences. I've spent the last decade coding user interfaces and, during this time, my love for the craft has only grown.

Even though I have led and managed teams, and I value that experience, I'm at my best as an individual contributor. This is because I'm very autonomous, independent, and reserved - so I prefer to be responsible largely for my own workload.

Vue is my favorite framework, but I have ample experience working with React, Next.js, Nuxt, and some proprietary solutions.
