Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Fouasnon is a frontend engineer with a decade of experience building high-traffic, user-centric web applications, honed during nearly five years at Disqus where his team managed 100+ million pageviews a day. Now at Quansight, he focuses on making complex browser interactions feel effortless, contributing front-end improvements to widely used open-source projects like Bokeh and JupyterLab (notably accessibility, file-browser UX, and interactive visualization fixes). He combines deep familiarity with MVC frameworks (Backbone/React) and practical full-stack chops from independent gigs that ranged from microservice orchestration to geolocation features and Stripe integrations. Comfortable with both product-driven teams and open-source collaboration, Gabriel has a track record of shipping measurable UX and revenue improvements and mentoring engineers as teams scale. Based in Spain with a physics BS from MIT, he brings a methodical, experimental approach to front-end problems and an appetite for pushing the web to do things you didn’t think it could.
