Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatias Jose is a Frontend Engineer based in Madrid with over a decade of hands-on experience building and optimizing JavaScript-heavy web applications, notably as a lead developer at Chess.com where he helped create live chess and custom chessboard frameworks. He specializes in JavaScript/TypeScript performance, Vue and React frontends, and PHP/Symfony backends running on Apache/Linux with MySQL. Comfortable across the full stack, he has shifted between building bespoke client-side frameworks and teaching others as a course writer, reflecting both deep implementation skills and an ability to explain complex topics. A self-trained developer who began freelancing in the mid-2000s, he brings a pragmatic, experiments-first approach to solving UI and realtime challenges. Outside of code he’s also a pianist and composer, a creative thread that informs his user-focused, iterative product work.
