About Me
Hi š my name is Joe (he/him).
I'm a senior web developer. In my 20 year career, I have built web experiences for companies including Apple, Disney, Eventbrite, Trulia (Zillow), and Sightbox (Johnson & Johnson) using a broad range of technologies, most notably JavaScript, React, Redux, CSS, and APIs.
With the web industry constantly evolving, I am passionate about curating new technologies and frameworks to make it easier for developers to decide what best fits their needs. I kicked off my speaking career at SXSW in 2017 and have given talks at React meetups in the San Francisco bay area. I will also be speaking at Reactathon 2018 in San Francisco.
I run a front-end meetup group in Portland. If you live in PDX please take a look and stop by. We're called Front End Small Talk. The talks are 7 slides, 7 minutes, with 15 minute Q&A sessions after each talk.
On this blog I write about the lessons I learn in my daily life, mostly having to do with JavaScript, React, CSS, tooling, and anything else front-end web development related.
I have a BS in Information Systems and an MBA from Pepperdine University. I'm also passionate about startups, DX and UX.
When Iām not coding or talking about it on Twitter (aka @joeseifi), you can find me mixing beats (aka Chatterbot), taking and editing photos (aka theJoeSpot), or watching FC Barcelona soccer.
