Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Lozac'h is a seasoned product-focused software engineer with 11+ years of experience blending front-end craftsmanship and pragmatic architecture to ship delightful, usable products. Based in Berkeley, he’s moved from C++/Objective‑C iOS work to modern web stacks—currently a Svelte/SvelteKit enthusiast with deep experience in React, Vue, Elm-inspired patterns, and prior Rails/Postgres backends. He’s known for keeping styles minimal and maintainable (once halving global SCSS) and for mentoring designers to ship code safely. A former senior engineer at Gracenote and long-time freelancer, he pairs musical and visual arts sensibilities with disciplined engineering practices like Scrum and GTD, which shows up in rapid, high-quality demos and hackathon wins. Currently on a creative sabbatical as a writer/coach, he quietly brings systems thinking and a strong usability instinct to whatever he builds next.
