Top SchoolDustan Kasten is an engineering manager and front-end specialist with 15 years of experience building delightful web experiences and leading teams at Webflow. He blends hands-on contributions to high-profile open source projects like React (and React renderers such as react-blessed) with tooling work—improving developer ergonomics through codemods and polyfills like smoothscroll. Based in North Carolina, he has a track record moving between product-focused roles at Walmart eCommerce and developer advocacy, and still consults on web design-to-development engagements. A pragmatic leader and "web nerd," he pairs deep UI engineering chops with a focus on usability and developer experience, and — not obvious from titles — he’s also curated examples and devtools that make complex libraries easier for others to adopt.
