Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPiers Olenski is a London-based front-end engineer and co-founder with 11 years’ experience crafting responsive, user-focused web applications and digital experiences for startups, agencies, and products. As Head of Development at First and Foremost and former Technical Lead roles, he blends hands-on React/Vue/Angular development with client-facing product delivery and team leadership. He’s comfortable across the front-end toolchain—HTML5, CSS3/SASS, modern JavaScript, build tooling and CI—and has shipped greenfield SPAs, GraphQL integrations and React Native check-in apps. Unusually for a developer, his background in music production and DAWs informs a strong interest in UX/UI and multimedia interactions, which has led to interactive kiosk and IoT-enabled exhibition work. A long-time Vim enthusiast and designer-capable engineer, he bridges visual craft and technical rigor to take projects from concept to polished, maintainable releases.
