Pol Gubau Amores

Senior Frontend Engineer · Mataró, Barcelona

I build interfaces for a living and can't stop building things outside of work. Currently Senior Frontend at Mesalvo and co-founder of Doscientos.

The story so far

I started as a graphic designer, winning school hackathons, shooting cars for dealerships and creating branding for startups. People kept asking me to build websites after seeing the ones I made for myself, so I learned to code.

One thing led to another. WordPress sites became React apps, freelance projects became a full-time job at Mesalvo, and a university thesis became Pol-UI - a React component library with 150+ components, 62k+ npm downloads, and a 10/10 score with special distinction from UAB.

After graduating I moved to Germany to be closer to Mesalvo's headquarters, then came back to Spain and co-founded Doscientos, a software studio that implements tech that have outgrown Excel.
