About your instructor

Ines Akrap

I work at the intersection of front-end engineering, performance, and sustainability.

If you build for the web, your decisions don’t live in abstraction. They run on real devices, over real networks, consuming real energy and shaping real user experiences. I focus on making those trade-offs visible and understandable, so engineers can make better decisions long before they reach for tools or frameworks.
