About the Authors
Jason Strimpel is a staff software engineer on the Platform team at WalmartLabs who specializes in the UI layer. Jason has been building web applications for the past 12 years. Approximately three years ago he began specializing in the frontend—in particular, JavaScript—and since then he has worked with several component libraries and frameworks. However, Jason found limitations to these libraries when presented with uniquely challenging UI requirements, so he began developing his own custom components and catalog of helpers. He is an extremely passionate developer with a very bad sense of humor who loves simplifying the complexities that arise when building rich UIs.
