The author, observed from life
I'm Constantin, a Romanian-born British front-end engineer with a designer's background. I started in design and illustration over a decade ago, moved into engineering, and have spent 10+ years building interfaces for the web: mostly in React and TypeScript, always with an eye for how the thing feels to use.
Design is still where I think from, so I care about the details most people only notice when they're missing. When a project needs more than the front-end, I build the backend and APIs to run it too, which means I can take an app from first sketch to something running. What I leave behind is clean, documented code a team can own without me in the room.
