Summary
🤩
RockstarChris Bongers is a Team Lead and hands-on engineering manager in Cape Town with ten years of experience building JavaScript-first web apps. At daily.dev he bridges product and infrastructure needs—translating "the database needs circuit breakers" into practical safeguards while shipping front-end improvements built with Next.js, React and Tailwind. He hires people smarter than himself intentionally, removes blockers, makes hard priority calls, and runs teams with explicit expectations and direct feedback rather than vague encouragement. A long-time independent interactive developer and contributor to the daily.dev app suite, he blends client-facing product experience with leadership focused on earning technical credibility and improving estimation and delivery under real startup constraints.
