About me

I am Juho Vepsäläinen, a DSc and a seasoned web developer. I developed my first website around 1996 although it has been lost to the history and I was not serious about web development back then. It was only in early 2000s that I started to become more serious about programming as I became involved with the Blender↗ project for several years starting from 2005 as I contributed to the project by coding and improving documentation. I was one of the founders of webpack↗ core team and helped to establish the project to a broader public through my webpack book. I have also authored numerous open source projects primarily for my own purposes, although several have become popular on their own as other people and companies have found my work useful.

I established my own company in 2016 to support my publishing efforts. I use the company for occasional consulting while giving workshops and presentations as opportunities arise. I have been organizing conferences primarily in Finland starting from 2018 as the first React Finland↗ conference took place then. Since that time, we have pivoted into a new brand called Future Frontend↗ to allow discussion about future-oriented web topics beyond React.

You can consider this site as my collection of web related knowledge. It is primarily a learning resource for beginner to intermediate developers although especially the research portions cover advanced, bleeding edge material. I am not overly active on social media, but you can find me in the following places:
