Summary
Erik Cupal is a Lead Frontend Engineer with nine years of experience building polished, user-focused web applications using TypeScript, React, Redux and modern JS tooling. He combines hands-on engineering with product instincts—founding and single-handedly building Dobijáku, a movie screening aggregator that spans scraping backend, fast APIs and a near-native mobile frontend. At companies from medical and legal tech to startups, he’s introduced functional programming practices, migrated large codebases to TypeScript, and led small front-end teams while owning deployments and developer ergonomics. A remote-work advocate based in Valencia, he brings curiosity across languages (Kotlin, Haskell, Rust interest) and a penchant for pragmatic, low-complexity solutions that ship quickly.
