Leandro Oriente.

Staff frontend developer at Shopify, working on checkout.

I’ve worked in Brazil and the Netherlands, building scalable software with JavaScript and TypeScript.

I mentor developers and care about making development processes clearer and easier to work with.

Amsterdam is home. Outside work, I cycle and travel.

The work

Since
2010.

From commerce and property search to travel and streaming. Interfaces, shared tools, and helping developers take on technical ownership.
