Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakob Sen is a UI engineer based in Frankfurt with eight years of hands-on experience building front-end applications, primarily with TypeScript and React, and a growing interest in backend work like Node.js and Ruby on Rails. He blends formal computer science training and a fine arts practice, having tutored montage and served as art director on multimedia projects, which gives his interfaces a strong visual and conceptual sensibility.
