Jesse Pernilä
(Design-oriented frontend developer)

Heyo! 👋

I’m a web developer from Finland with a main expertise in frontend development. Past years I’ve also expanded my work to design and full-stack, while honing on the UI and UX side of the craft.

On my free time I enjoy coffee shops, nature walks, fitness, movies, indie games and music. I also love to create 3D art, vector graphics and play the piano.

If you want to talk more — send me an email 😊

Notes and planning

My main tools for planning and note taking is the combination of writing markdown files (Obsidian.md) and drawing wireframes and diagrams (Excalidraw), this has been the toolkit I’ve used for a couple years now for studying and doing the research phases for designs, and it has been highly valuable.

Design

I have designed UIs for a couple of years now using Figma. I define design variables, components and layouts into a design library, which I can use to create higher definition UIs off of the rough wireframes.

Vim

Navigating and editing code using Vim motions has been a great boost in efficiency for me, but also a boost in fun 😄 I started with the Vim extension for VSCode and since fall of 2025 I’ve mainly switched to using Neovim as my primary editor.
