Jack Che / front-end systems

I build polished web products with developer-grade detail.
Fast, readable, and ready to ship.

I'm a senior front-end engineer based in San Francisco. I currently work at Brix and previously worked at Didi and Baidu. I care about interfaces that feel clean on the surface and stay maintainable underneath.

};

How I usually work

Understand the problem, keep the interface calm, and ship in small reliable steps.

About

readme.md

A product engineer with a design-system brain.

I'm a front-end engineer with 8+ years of experience building web products used by real teams and customers.

My main stack is React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. I also work across backend integration with Node.js, GraphQL, authentication, and data layers when product requirements call for it.

I care about clear communication, predictable delivery, and writing code that the next engineer can confidently extend.
