Summary
Zdeněk Košťál is a Senior Frontend Developer with 11 years of experience building and incrementally rewriting large single-page applications and UI libraries, currently driving front-end architecture and TypeScript projects at Typeform. He has a track record of leading front-end efforts across distributed teams—migrating Backbone to React, championing Webpack and React/Flux adoption, and owning CI pipelines with GitHub Actions.
