Yausell Ruiz

Senior Frontend Engineer · Amsterdam · Open to select roles

Summary

Since 2022 I have worked on the web and mobile frontend of Bitvavo, one of Europe’s largest crypto exchanges, where correctness and performance are the baseline. Alongside the job I founded Auxel Labs, a small product studio, so I regularly ship end to end: research, design, build, launch, support. The two feed each other. The job keeps my engineering disciplined, and the studio keeps me close to what users actually need.
