Summary
👤
SeniorChristian Castanares is a Director of UX/UI Design & Development with over a decade of hands-on experience crafting modern, usable, and visually compelling web products. Based in Orlando, he blends front-end engineering (React, HTML/CSS, JS) with back-end familiarity (Firebase, MySQL, MongoDB) to own projects from concept through production while also leading teams and shaping platform standards. At Certus he drives UI architecture, tooling decisions, and mentorship, and concurrently contributes as a full-stack developer building React/Firebase apps at ActiveComply and through his long-running studio, xtianares.com. Known for pairing a designer’s eye with developer discipline, he routinely handles print and branding work that many engineering leaders don’t, which informs his attention to detail in digital interfaces. He favors pragmatic exploration of new frameworks to boost performance and developer efficiency, and remains actively involved in code reviews and cross-functional collaboration to translate product goals into polished experiences.
