- Coordinate logistics like time zones, meeting frequency, and communication methods
I'm Tom Smykowski, a Staff Frontend Engineer with 18+ years of experience building scalable systems, leading frontend teams, and crafting pixel-perfect design systems in Angular, React, and Vue.
I’ve led frontend architecture for multi-role platforms used by over 18 million users, developed design systems for $1.3B+ companies, and helped government platforms boost conversions by 20% and sales by 90%. I've rebranded and optimized a 10M-user app in under nine months—earning praise from both engineers and designers for my mentorship and reliability.
✨ My sweet spot?
Helping entry to senior developers step up: from overwhelmed coder to confident technical leader, from confused about component reuse to building rock-solid libraries, from patchwork apps to clean, scalable frontends that work for millions, from manual coding to AI-assisted, quality vibe coding.
If you're working with Angular, React, or Vue—especially on design systems, performance, or refactoring messy legacy code—I can help you skip years of trial and error. Want to navigate business pressure, boost your UX impact, or just find your voice as a developer? I’ve coached folks on that too.
