Summary
Andre Chappelle is a Senior Technical Lead and UX-focused engineer with 10+ years building accessible, design-driven frontends and developer tooling for web platforms. He combines hands-on expertise across modern stacks—React/Next, Vue, Typescript, design systems, Storybook, Node and serverless AWS—with a strong foundation in CMS theming (Drupal, Wordpress, Apostrophe) and performant, SEO- and WCAG-conscious implementations. As a people-oriented leader he has improved team practices (Conventional Commits, mid-cycle demos, engineering roadmaps), mentored engineers, and created bespoke Storybook/TypeDoc themes to increase product adoption. He’s equally comfortable shipping atomic pattern libraries and troubleshooting production observability issues, and brings a rare blend of designer empathy and diagnostic rigor to developer experience and accessibility advocacy.
