Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJack Mcdade is a founder and product-focused engineer with 15 years building elegant, efficient web experiences—most notably as the creator of Statamic, a Laravel-based CMS aimed at making content management radically simple. He combines hands-on front-end craftsmanship with full-stack maintenance of docs and tooling, improving UX details from SVG fixes to redesigned asset browsers. As owner of Wilderborn and a long-running self-employed designer/developer, he blends entrepreneurial product sense with practical UI/UX and performance-driven implementations. Based in Ormond Beach, Florida, he’s driven by a mission to make the web less boring, shipping thoughtful design and developer ergonomics rather than feature bloat. An interesting thread through his work is a consistent focus on radical efficiency: improving workflows and interfaces in ways users notice only after they stop fighting the tools.
