Summary
Joaquín Hernández is a Frontend Engineer with 13 years of experience building JavaScript-driven web applications and developer tooling, currently working at Routine after a multi-year tenure at the Wikimedia Foundation. He blends deep front-end expertise (React, ES6, browser APIs, visualizations, creative coding) with backend and ops familiarity (Node.js, CouchDB, Ansible), enabling him to ship end-to-end solutions and mentor cross-functional teams. An advocate of functional programming, Joaquín has explored Clojure/ClojureScript, CSP and core.async, and even taught a ClojureScript workshop for FutureJS, with materials and exercises available publicly. He regularly prototypes playful open-source projects—like a ClojureScript snake game and a photo-organizing CLI—that reveal a curiosity for tooling and developer experience beyond conventional product work. Based in Alicante, Spain, he combines pragmatic engineering with a researcher’s appetite for new languages and system-level ideas.
