👋 Hey, I'm Victor
I'm a design engineer, optimistic nihilist and lifelong learner.
I currently work at Fleek, where I help my team in all things design system, frontend engineering, interaction design, and accessibility.
Previously, I was working at Tailwarden, where I helped my team shipping core features with React, Next.js and Typescript, so other companies could have more visibility into costs and usage from their cloud infrastructure.
Before that, I was an experienced product designer working closely with end users and product teams in all kinds of setups: startups, scaleups, enterprises, and consulting.
Outside of work, you will find me at metal concerts, wandering in the wilderness with a camera, or playing Hollow Knight.

Head of Product @ Fleek
Worked together at Fleek
“Victor is not only pixel-perfect in his adherence to designs, but also fully capable of owning and delivering features end-to-end. He is a rare engineer in that he displays an obvious care for his craft and was beloved by both our designer and frontend engineering manager as a result. Victor often engaged me as a product manager in discussions around requirements and implementation that demonstrated a deep understanding of user experience. He is thoughtful about product in a way that every product manager hopes engineers reading over a spec or a requirements list will be. Beyond that, I found Victor to be professional, easy-going, and good-natured in our interactions. We worked for a company during a tumultuous period in which there was a significant pivot and restructuring of the technical team, and yet every sprint he was able to remain focused and engaged with the work. I recommend Victor wholeheartedly and consider him one of the top five frontend engineers that I've worked with.”

Worked together at Tailwarden
“Victor is super quick to understand new concepts, and it was a real pleasure working with him on new features and introducing new tools and libraries to make our Frontend more sophisticated. He is open to new ideas and improvements, and thinks critically about new features. His product design background is a super-power when it comes to Frontend development, because he constantly thinks about the UX and the big picture of the whole product. I got to know him as a very pro-active engineer, eager to learn and seeking feedback from his peers. In short, if you're in need of a skilled frontend engineer, you can't go wrong with Victor :)”
