Joe Bergantine is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years’ experience designing and shipping full-stack web applications, currently focused at Unity5 after leading frontend work for e-commerce at Lead Media. He blends user research and interaction design with hands-on engineering (React, TypeScript, Python/Django, PHP, PostgreSQL/MySQL) to turn complex workflows into intuitive products. Joe has led end-to-end development as an early startup engineer—building distributed Django/AWS systems, real-time data collection, and native iOS apps—and later drove platform redesigns informed by contextual inquiry and usability testing. He established design systems and component libraries (Storybook) while improving test coverage and API performance, showing a rare mix of product thinking and infrastructure rigor. Colleagues rely on him to translate the “why” behind features into scalable architectures and shipping code, and he’s comfortable oscillating between UX leadership and deep backend work. Based in London with a background in graphic design, he often approaches technical problems with a designer’s attention to communication and clarity.
