Hi, I'm
Julien Lopez
Fullstack | Front End Engineer,
and I love creating things, especially for the web.
I'm a Fullstack, Front End loving engineer with a passion for building user interfaces. I have an eye for detail and love creating features that perform as well as they look. Knowing I contribute to features users use daily is so awesome to me.
Currently I'm working at The Gifting Company as a Front End Engineer, where I contribute to a monolithic Laravel app. I create, maintain, and polish user interfaces of our internal dashboards, our in-house Vue.js component library, and our custom Shopify checkout experience, widgets, and more.
My prior work consists of user facing features for startups and private clients, ranging from realtime chat applications to full-fledged full-stack React Native apps. I also have several personal pet projects, including a workout tracker as well as several type-testing web apps.
Other than programming, I like to work out, paint (watercolor & guoache), and love gaming. My latest muse has been Magic the Gathering, EDH specifically!
