Hello World!
My name is Jesen Tanadi and I'm a designer and full stack developer currently working on museums, design tools, and open source software. I have a background in architecture and graphic design, and experience working on complex design systems for a wide range of experiences as well as the tooling needed to help designers achieve that goal.
I'm always interested in hearing about any new designer/developer hybrid role. I'm fluent in JavaScript and proficient in TypeScript and the JS/TS web stack (Node, express, React/Redux). If you'd like to chat, you can contact me through e-mail, LinkedIn, GitHub, and Twitter.
This website was written in TypeScript and built with Next.js and styled-jsx. The source code can be viewed here.
