/about
Senior Frontend Developer.
Automation enthusiast.
Performance oriented.
I'm Kacper Piatek — a Senior Frontend Developer with Polish roots, originally from Rome and now based in Turin, Italy. I specialize in architecting fast, accessible, and scalable enterprise applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
My work is heavily focused on the intersection of user experience and technical excellence. I routinely audit and optimize Core Web Vitals, implement strict WCAG accessibility standards, and orchestrate complex application state using modern tools like Zustand and Redux Toolkit.
As a senior engineer, I act as a force multiplier for my teams. I design rigorous monorepo structures, standardize CI/CD deployment pipelines to cut build times, and actively engage with developers to elevate overall code quality. I take end-to-end ownership—from the initial Dockerized backend query right down to the final pixel-perfect browser paint.
Philosophy
Engineering Principles
01
Performance is a feature.
Every millisecond matters. I aggressively optimize LCP, CLS, and INP metrics through code splitting, memoization strategies, and Server-Side Rendering (SSR). This portfolio achieves 95+/100 on mobile and 100/100 on desktop across all pages on PageSpeed Insights — built with Astro, zero-runtime CSS, and no JavaScript animation libraries.
02
End-to-end ownership.
Seniority means taking responsibility for the full flow. I bridge the gap between product requirements and engineering output, ensuring smooth execution from CI/CD tooling to the DOM.
03
Empowering others.
Standardizing architectures (like monorepos and design systems) and mentoring peers cuts future development time and raises the team's baseline capacity.
04
Iterative refinement.
I rely on continuous exploration and testing. Whether integrating AI coding tooling or adopting Edge runtimes, the architecture must constantly evolve to stay competitive.
