Hey 👋, I'm Joyal George K J

Self-Taught React & Next.js Engineer | OSS Contributor | Builder of Practical Tools

Looking for frontend, Typescript based roles, OSS collaborations, or freelance gigs, if you’re building something exciting, let’s connect and make it awesome together.


✨ About Me

I build things that solve problems. My path wasn’t linear — I learned code on my own, worked non-tech jobs to stay afloat, and kept shipping software on the side. That mix of persistence and curiosity shaped how I work today: fast, practical, and grounded in real use.

I’m strongest when the codebase is unfamiliar and the bug is buried somewhere nobody has looked yet.
I read, dissect, debug, and ship clean fixes — quickly.

  • Focused on React, Next.js, TypeScript, and straightforward architectures
  • Build tools, internal apps, and full-stack projects that prioritize clarity over complexity
  • Developed and published NPM packages used in real workflows
  • Shipped small but useful tools at workplaces (like a pump-sales calculator)
  • Worked non-tech jobs while rebuilding my career in software — the grit stayed, and so did the momentum

🌱 Open Source Work

I contribute to projects that shape my day-to-day workflow:

  • Appwrite — console, docs, and ecosystem improvements
  • Docker Docs & BuildKit — documentation fixes and contributions around dev experience
  • React Bits — patterns, examples, and refinements
  • Self.so — cleanup and enhancements
  • Plus many small contributions across projects I use

Open source is where I sharpen my ability to read code written by many minds.
