Bartek
Igielski.
I handle the full product lifecycle, from initial concept and architectural design to high-performance frontend code, scalable backends, and automated deployment pipelines. I bridge the gap between engineering and product.
Ex-Head of Front-end and Board Member at Snowdog, ex-Tech Lead at Vue Storefront. Shipping for the web since 2008, which in JavaScript years makes me roughly 400.

Created Frontools & Blank SASS
A frontend toolkit and a SASS port of the Magento 2 Blank theme. Downloaded over a million times and used as a starting point by plenty of Magento stores. Because LESS was a choice, not a destiny.
Vue support in Astro
Back in Astro's early days, fixed Vue SSR and component nesting so Vue actually worked there. You're welcome, Vue people.
Core team, then tech lead
Pushed Snowdog to become one of the early partners and contributed to the core. Later led a team building an API orchestration layer for enterprise ecommerce.
Top 50 contributor in 2017
Part of the group working with Magento and Google on the early foundations of PWA Studio. Later joined the Magento Open Source Task Force.
500+ merged PRs
Merged into other people's repos, from Vue, Alpine and Astro to Magento, Strapi, oxc and WXT.
