Summary
Edward Maesen is a seasoned web developer and freelancer with over two decades of engineering experience, including 13 years as a Staff Software Engineer at eBay/StubHub and leadership roles at Pearson. He specializes in modern Vue.js front-end development, SEO-friendly static pre-rendering with Gridsome, and full-stack toolchains (Feathers, NeDB), while still able to handcraft a responsive SPA in plain JavaScript as demonstrated by his personal site hosted on AWS. At StubHub he architected and documented a widely used client-side SPA framework and built the site’s first mobile experience, and at eBay he automated a large XSL codebase conversion and designed internationalized presentation architectures. Known for combining creative design sensibilities with rigorous, test-driven engineering, he also coaches teams and sets coding standards. Outside of code he channels creativity into photography, cooking, gardening and improvisational music—an unusual blend that informs his user-experience focus and attention to detail.
