Intro
Hi! My name is Jesús Olano and I make webs to be seen.
I'm a Frontend Developer who loves to build websites and apps. My current focus is on component libraries and design systems, web performance optimization and e-commerce.
Bio
My journey in Frontend Development begun in 2015 when I started building my own craft beer ecommerce. Flash forward to now, I’ve been to build an online business, lead a frontend team in a tech consultancy and became a senior dev in a scale-up.
I love building projects that fit together harmoniously both in the code side and in the visual domain. I’m and advocate of Developer Experience, as I believe clean code is the first step when implementing a design system or building a component library.
In my free time, you can find me travelling or hiking, doing sports or making music, or working on my side projects with my favourite tech stack.
