Summary
Jorge Manteca is a Frontend Lead Engineer with 11 years of professional experience and 14 years immersed in programming, based in Madrid. He specializes in JavaScript-driven frontends (React, AngularJS, Vue) and has led refactors, testing and architecture efforts across high-tech-debt MVPs and large legacy migrations. Jorge blends hands-on coding with people leadership—managing small technical teams, interviewing and training developers, and contributing to product and architecture decisions as an ex‑founder and board member. His background spans full cloud stacks (Node.js, Kubernetes, Docker, MySQL, MongoDB) and includes work on payment and data‑driven visualization platforms for clients like Checkout.com and British Airways. He has a track record of turning monoliths into micro-apps, improving CI/CD and testing practices, and prefers to stay deep in the code while shaping product direction. Notably, he co‑founded a web OS startup where he helped raise funding, ran business development, and kept the frontend open source.
