Stepan Orlov
Front-end Developer
I build accessible, performant web applications — from multi-step order funnels and analytics dashboards to animation-driven marketing sites. 5+ years with React, Next.js, Vue.js and Nuxt.js.
About
I'm a front-end developer with 5+ years of experience building responsive web applications for major European clients — primarily in the telecommunications sector — through a Berlin digital agency.
Accessibility is not a checkbox for me. I led a company-wide initiative to align key products with WCAG 2.2 and the EU Accessibility Act, and I run weekly a11y knowledge-sharing sessions.
Before writing code professionally, I worked in business development at B2B SaaS companies. That background shapes how I approach engineering: I care about product outcomes, not just implementation details.
Fluent in English and German (B2). Available for remote or hybrid roles.
