Portrait of Jon Stjärnström

01About

How he works

10+ years building and maintaining high-traffic web applications, with a primary focus on frontend using React, Next.js, and TypeScript — and full comfort working full-stack, from Node.js backends to auth flows, CMS integrations, and personalization.

Strong focus on performance, SEO, accessibility, and long-term code quality. Works closely with designers and product teams, in both small cross-functional teams and larger product organizations.

Actively uses AI-assisted development workflows — including Claude Code — as part of how he builds today.
