Arantcha Delgado

Arantcha Delgado

Front-End Web Developer

🎤 Más allá del pixel perfect – cuidando la experiencia desde el código frontend

Arantcha has 5+ years as a frontend developer with React, Vue and WordPress, creating interfaces that are enjoyable to use. She was a bookseller, so she thinks about screens like pages that are easy to read: good structure, clear rhythm. In frontend, there is a lot of talk about pixel perfect, but little about what happens in the code to truly care for the experience: HTML semantics, loading/error states, guiding messages. She is excited to share practical tips and help juniors and people from different backgrounds see that their perspective adds value and breaks patterns.
