Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAsaf Katz is a Frontend Developer with 11 years of experience building performant, design-driven web applications and developer tools from Mexico. He combines a strong eye for design with deep engineering chops—shipping front-end systems at startups and integrating React into large legacy apps while supporting mobile teams with React Native. Asaf is a prolific open-source maintainer: his autodll-webpack-plugin dramatically speeds up builds and is used by Next.js and tens of thousands of repos, and his utilities like Awaity.js have earned praise from prominent authors in the JS ecosystem. He’s comfortable across the stack—authoring webpack plugins, backend scrapers for financial data, and reusable component libraries—and prioritizes APIs that are simple for designers yet extensible for advanced use. Known for mentoring juniors, improving CI and tooling, and working asynchronously across timezones, he seeks roles that let him work closely with designers to empower creative thinkers.
