Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRemy Sharp is a seasoned software designer and founder with 18+ years building and advising web platforms, tooling and prototypes from Brighton, UK. He founded Left Logic and ffconf, created enduring web tools like JS Bin and jsconsole.com, and coined the term "polyfill" while producing a widely used collection of polyfills and HTML5 demos. Remy blends front-end expertise (JavaScript, React, HTML5) with backend and security work—recently contributing to Snyk’s CLI to harden scanning and patching flows. His consultancy has delivered projects for clients including Google, BBC, Mozilla and Radiohead, and he frequently pairs training with hands-on rapid prototyping. Comfortable at conferences and in code, he’s equally at home curating community events and shipping production APIs and developer tools. An early web developer since 1999, he brings a rare mix of long-term perspective, open-source influence and practical product delivery.
