Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Chiampas is a Lead Programmer with a decade of full stack experience crafting highly designed, performant websites and custom developer tools. At Funkhaus he helped modernize the tech stack—introducing Vue, Nuxt, GraphQL and a headless WordPress API—and led the move to a componentized build system that accelerated delivery and reduced QA cycles. He spans front-end and back-end work with strong JavaScript and Ruby chops, databases from MongoDB to PostgreSQL, and a pragmatic DevOps/tooling mindset (Heroku, Gulp, SASS). Passionate about Linux and web security, he pairs hands-on coding and code review with operational ownership to keep teams shipping smoothly. Outside work he builds playful JavaScript robots, wrenches on motorcycles, and cooks vegetarian meals—small signals of a tinkerer who brings curiosity and craft to product work. Based in Los Angeles, he combines collaborative leadership with a taste for elegant, functional design.
