Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohannes Ekman is a founding engineer and product-focused frontend specialist with nine years of experience designing and shipping web apps for startups and larger organisations from Helsinki. He excels at rapid iteration—identifying needs, shipping pragmatic solutions, validating them, and either discarding or polishing based on real-world feedback—and has repeatedly led post-MVP frontends that improved positioning and growth. His background spans UX design, design systems, and full-stack Next.js work, with hands-on experience optimizing workflows, onboarding, and matching systems in B2B and B2C contexts. A pragmatic tinkerer, he’s currently building startup-grade products (and quietly learning Rust) while favoring deployment platforms like Vercel and Fly.io.
