Brian Forstat
I am an experienced front-end engineer focused on building performant interactive software for the web. Most days I build React/Typescript/CSS-in-JS components, and think about how these interact/combine with each other in the context of a design system/component library. In the past, I have worked as a designer and try to bring that eye for UI/UX and design awareness into my engineering work. I most recently worked for Twitter as a Sr. Front-end Engineer.
