Lead Frontend Developer @ Blendle is startup that brings paper newspapers to the digital world in an online kiosk. At Blendle I've developed the front end architecture from the ground up as one of the first employees. At Blendle we believe that our web applications should function as native applications in both interaction and performance.
Blendle's architecture is based on static JSON that lives on service platforms such as S3 combined with dynamically generted JSON from our webservices. All of this data is pushed through a single entry point into the web application that also resides on a static service provider. The frontend architecture is based on React, WebPack, SASS and precompiled Jade templates.
