Summary
Johnny Fekete is a software engineer and two-time founder with over a decade of experience building and scaling web products from MVPs to platforms serving millions of daily users. Currently a founding web engineer on Reddit’s Profile Experience team, he drives performance, modern web architecture, and cross-functional initiatives like a privacy-first human verification system. He previously built and led Bonboarding—a cookieless, security-first B2B onboarding platform that reached 300K+ end users—and cofounded Recruitio where he architected one of the earliest ATS PDF deep-search features prior to exit. Comfortable across React, TypeScript, Node.js, Go, PHP, GraphQL, Postgres, Redis and AWS, he blends hands-on engineering with product and GTM decision-making. A frequent conference speaker and mentor, he also creates onboarding processes and tooling adopted company-wide at Reddit. Based in Barcelona with a background in business and information systems, he’s equally at home discussing startups, engineering leadership, or making work more fun.
