Mario Villacreses

Senior Software Engineer — React/TypeScript specialist with a systems‑level approach to frontend architecture.
Previously at Meta, GoDaddy, and multiple startups. I build clean, durable interfaces and the systems that support them.


🚧 Currently Building

  • Windows Chronicle — A lightweight, local‑first Windows calendar app that unifies multiple calendar sources into a single fast, native month‑view experience with offline persistence and simple extensibility. It fills a long‑standing gap on Windows: a vendor‑neutral, truly native calendar client that isn’t bloated, slow, or tied to a single ecosystem.

  • Chalkyard — A realtime multiplayer drawing space for low‑stakes creativity. It captures the carefree vibe of kids sketching on a sun‑warmed sidewalk, mixed with the playful Jamboard doodles my friends and I made during the COVID lockdown — a deliberately unproductive, social alternative to Miro.


🧠 Engineering Philosophy

  • I optimize for clarity, maintainability, and long‑term velocity.
  • I modernize legacy frontends into modular, typed, testable systems.
  • I care about developer experience as much as user experience.
  • My core stack is React/Next.js/TypeScript/Express, and I’m expanding into new ecosystems with the leverage of modern AI‑assisted development.

💼 Experience

  • Meta — Improved Metric Catalog UX; reduced API latency 20%; modernized React components.
  • GoDaddy — Led Ember → Next.js migration; improved infra performance; strengthened merchant workflows.
  • Consulting — Modernization, AI‑adjacent QA, React/Next.js/Python.
