Hi, I'm Joel. Nice to meet you.
tl;dr
I do good work. Let's work together.
My name is Joel Saupe, I'm a software engineer from Utah. I have a bunch of experience leading frontend development at companies like Sendoso and Deseret Book. I also do contract work and consulting at Starry Night Studios by night. I'm currently open for new full-time opportunities!
Most of the code I write is TypeScript, JavaScript, Vue, and React. I write some Ruby on Rails here and there as well.
The things I'm most passionate about and focus a lot of my efforts on include:
- Accessibility
- User Experience
- Empowering Developers
- Great Documentation
I try to contribute to open source when I can, I could probably do better, but I maintain a couple packages that I'm pretty proud of.
Sometimes I write about topics I'm interested in, or occasionally I give talks on things I'm passionate about. Here are some of the talks I've given:
- Solidus UI: An Exploration into UI Toolkits
Solidus Conf 7 - Solidus API: From PWAs to Native and Beyond
SolidusConf 2019 - Discussion Panel: Accessible Technology
UtahJS Conf 2018 - Accessibility: More than Just Screen Readers and ARIA
UtahJS Conf 2018
I'm not always working though. I love spending time with my family and I'm pretty into running as well.
If you need someone to point you in the right direction, or maybe someone to jump on a project for a little while, I'm the right person for the job. Or maybe you're looking for someone to fill a full time position, then that's cool too, so email me already!
