About Me
Hey there, I’m Eran Sakal — a Principal Frontend Engineer & Architect with over 25 years of experience designing and building modern web platforms.
I’ve been tinkering with code since I was a kid and still love getting my hands dirty writing code, mentoring developers, and shaping architectures that scale. Over the years, I’ve also led teams of experienced engineers, balancing leadership with hands-on development to deliver thoughtful, well-crafted products.
I believe great software comes from collaboration, structure, and enthusiasm — so I try to lead with all three, while keeping it real.
My Family
When I’m not coding, I’m a full-time dad to my crazy kids. They keep me on my toes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! My wife Michal and I love to unwind at night with good wine, sushi, and conversations that remind us there’s life beyond tech.
My Development Perspective
As a developer and tech lead, I believe that great software is built by great teams, not individuals. I value teamwork, clear methodologies, and genuine passion for what we build.
Over the years, I’ve learned that turning a prototype into a production-ready product takes more than just writing good code — it requires ownership, communication, and a shared sense of purpose.
And even in the AI era, that truth hasn’t changed — technology can accelerate us, but it’s still people who define direction, quality, and impact.
Frontend Stack
Here's my usual stack — feel free to share yours too! I focus on stable, battle-tested technologies that deliver results.
DevOps Stack
I keep infrastructure simple and reliable, avoiding unnecessary complexity. Focus on tools that just work.
