I
am Juho Vepsäläinen, 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. At
the moment I pursue a PhD at Aalto University↗
and so far I have produced numerous research outputs
related to web development and mentored several students in their BSc
and MSc work.
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:
