About Joel Stransky

I am a Senior Software Engineer specializing in performance, accessibility, and scale, with a strong design background and 15+ years producing enterprise software. My work focuses on bridging technical execution and thoughtful interface design across complex platforms, including Node.js, .NET, React, and TypeScript.

Throughout my career, my work has shipped across diverse environments and high-profile stages—from engineering interactive installations for the IBM Watson Jeopardy! project and the Smithsonian, to developing cross-platform mobile reader applications for the Barnes & Noble Nook Color. At Konami Gaming, I revolutionized legacy Java interfaces by deploying an open-source Chromium integration framework, eliminating substantial licensing costs. At College Loan Corporation, I improved Lighthouse scores from C to A ratings, cleared thousands of legacy WCAG violations, led financial calculator development, and reduced development cycles by 40% through monorepo consolidation.

Earlier in my career, I engineered reusable parent-theme architectures at the University of Hawaii that reduced second-site build times by 90%, developed the interactive "Roots Course" e-learning framework with xAPI/LRS integration, and modernized web infrastructures and conversion pipelines at Superb.net and Vegas.com. A Full Sail University Game Art graduate (Salutatorian), I combine visual craft and 3D graphics experience with rigorous frontend architecture, developer tooling, and agentic software engineering.
