Projects that I am currently building out on Figma
Hi there
I’m Joe Pope. I’m a creative technologist who enjoys building things that sit at the intersection of software, design, and human behavior. While my foundation is in front-end and full-stack development, I’m less interested in titles than I am in how ideas become experiences—how something starts as a rough concept and turns into a product people actually want to use. I spend a lot of time experimenting: with interfaces, side projects, content, and new directions. Some of that shows up as web and mobile applications, some of it as YouTube videos, or product ideas. I’m naturally entrepreneurial, curious, and ADD by default. Outside of work, I travel when I can, camp, longboard, and game. This portfolio is a snapshot of how I think, what I’ve built so far, and the kinds of problems I’m drawn to—both technical and creative.
