Hello!
I'm Aleksander Maj
Software Developer Leader
UX and AI enthusiast
about me
I’m a full-stack developer and engineering team lead with a strong passion for user experience. Although I enjoy working across the full stack, I naturally gravitate toward the front-end - it’s where I can bring ideas to life visually and create things that people can see, use, and enjoy.
I don’t like to get too attached to any particular technology - I believe adaptability is one of the most valuable skills in our industry. Currently, I work primarily with React on the front-end and Elixir/Phoenix on the back-end. In the past, I’ve also built projects using Vue, Angular, Node.js, and Ruby on Rails, and I’m comfortable jumping into new stacks when needed.
My background in UX and design helps me approach development from a user-centered perspective. Earlier in my career, I spent some time creating wireframes, mockups, and visual designs for small applications - and I still enjoy designing and prototyping side projects in my spare time. This experience helps me collaborate more effectively with designers and ensures that the things I build not only work well but also feel right to use.

If I had done classes in JavaScript back in May 1995, I would have been told that it was too much like Java or that JavaScript was competing with Java … I was under marketing orders to make it look like Java but not make it too big for its britches … [it] needed to be a silly little brother language.
