About Me #

I'm Anthony Frehner, a frontend web developer and architect. I currently work at Shopify; here are some highlights:

• A lead developer of a new web component library which will serve as the foundation of Shopify's admin. (Think: Shopify Polaris)
• The lead developer of Hydrogen-React, a set of unopinionated commerce components for React.
• Developer on the Hydrogen framework, Shopify's official headless solution for e-commerce.
• Developer on Shopify Checkout, the lifeblood of every Shopify store.

I love working in open source and on web standards/specs. Some contributions are:

• Proposed and championed what eventually became the new CSS dvh, lvh, svh units
• Implemented the majority of the TC39 test262 tests for the Set.union method
• Wrote The Modern Guide to Packaging Your JavaScript Library
• Added a couple of minor tests ^{1 2} to Web Platform Tests
• Was a core contributor to single-spa
• Provided minor feedback on the Navigation API and Import Maps specifications

Before writing articles here, I would write articles in other places, and also occasionally give conference talks. Check them out:
