John Nissen-Hooper

I am a Dev

Currently a team lead focused on accessibility and Design Systems, I have 10+ years of fullstack experience in the industry, with a majority of that time in EdTech and healthcare startups. I have a passion for teaching (and learning) and love getting things pixel perfect. The last 4 years has been a mix of building a Design system from the ground up, maintainging a component library repo (coding, managing releases, planning, deploying etc), and educating fellow engineers on best practices and accessibility first desgin. I also have two bachelors degrees, (CS and Italian Studies. Feel free to quiz me on Italian cinema from the 1950-60's).
