Going into our fourth year at Nrwl (having recently celebrated our third year as a company), we are thrilled to have four new team members joining us from around the world in Canada, the United States, Italy and Scotland.

Jonathan Cammisuli, Philip Fulcher, Juri Strumpflohner and Rares Matei are highly experienced Engineers and Architects who will help us to deliver more value to our clients and continue to build and evolve our open-source products for the community. Read on below to learn more about them, and our evolving remote team culture as a software development organization.

Jonathan Cammisuli joins Nrwl

Jonathan brings a breadth of experience in business development, marketing, IT, and software engineering to the table.

Prior to joining Nrwl, Jonathan led a team at SOTI to build and maintain a product used by millions of customers. He and his team built a design system with Angular, in order to build common features across many products.

Jonathan told us he likes that Nrwl gives back to the community:

“I love that everything is open, especially in terms of how code is created.

The company itself is modern, and trust is given immediately… Both Victor and Jeff are really knowledgeable… They are also very approachable and can give you insights when solving issues that come your way.”

Philip Fulcher joins Nrwl

Philip has been working on the web for over a decade, working on content and marketing sites in the early days, followed by building web applications and adopting AngularJS 1.x. Philip previously worked on the Claros suite of solutions at Hach, a company with a world-class platform for collecting, managing, and analyzing water quality data. Philip lead the company’s AngularJS to Angular migration and grew the single application into a suite of eight applications built by multiple teams across the globe.

Philip specializes in Angular at the Enterprise level and has found Nx extremely helpful, even before he joined Nrwl’s team:

“When you’re building very big things, you end up with more concerns around managing code changes from multiple teams, ensuring quality, and building a fast integration and deployment cycle. I bought into Nx very early on and still count it as one of my best decisions. Our Nx monorepo allowed us to move so much faster than we ever had managing multiple libraries and features in different repos.”

Like most of us who join Nrwl, Philip joined the team partly because of our value in serving the front-end development community … “Not only providing guidance and training from some of the best engineers, but also building tools like Nx and Angular Console. I’m so excited to learn from these folks and be able to contribute to the community in a bigger way than ever before,” he said.

Juri Strumpflohner joins Nrwl

Juri has a background in software consulting for enterprise, and a passion for educating developers. You might recognize this Google Developer Expert from his online courses, running on-site trainings, speaking at conferences, and writing a blog which has over four thousand visitors a day. Or you might have seen him on Egghead.io where he has posted over a hundred lessons on Angular and Git.

“Teaching people and doing consulting is something that is extremely energizing and rewarding for me,” explained Juri.

Juri’s experience spans working in a variety of frontend frameworks, plus Android and mobile hybrid apps with Ionic and Cordova. His expertise lies in JavaScript, TypeScript, RxJS and Angular, and he’s an advocate for Agile practices, building team culture and strong communication in order to deliver top quality software.

Juri is based in Italy, and is keen to work remotely for Nrwl and he is excited about empowering developers by creating awesome tools.

“I’ve been following Nrwl since its very beginning and was probably among the first to adopt Nx… A lot of the smartest people I know work at Nrwl and I’m very much looking forward to be part of that and help contribute to its success and growth… being part of a company that gives its team members the freedom to work from wherever you want.

Nrwl allows me to have a much bigger impact, to reach more people by working with the top companies all over the world,” he said.

Rares Matei joins Nrwl

Rares Matei started his software career at Microsoft in London, and then worked for Morgan Stanley on a project building a multi-team FX trading application, built on top of Angular alongside NgRx and RxJS. Looking back at his work in enterprise software Rares said, “Given how big this app was and how many teams were working on it, I can only imagine how useful a tool like Nx would’ve been.”

Most recently, Rares worked for Cambric Systems, working on an offline-first iPad app for doctors to care for patients in areas with no phone signal. There he led the modernization of the front-end technology stack and revamped the build system from AngularJS and Ionic 1, to a hybrid Angular 7/Ionic 4 app. They ran the app on top of the Angular CLI and the latest version of TypeScript and Webpack, which led to big performance improvements, cleaner code and happier developers.

Rares is also very active in the JavaScript community. He organizes the GlasgowJS meetup and he published a course on Advanced TypeScript patterns on Egghead.io. He also runs a free full-stack JavaScript coding bootcamp for refugees and asylum-seekers in Glasgow, and they’re now on their fourth cohort of students entering the Code Your Future program.

Rares is excited to join Nrwl and work on client projects as well as open-source products and developer content:

“… To join a company whose members have strongly been shaping my understanding of the technologies I work with daily and my appreciation for building apps with them via the libraries, frameworks, articles, books and talks they created, is a whole other level of excitement.

I would not be where I am today as an Angular developer, without the contributions that Nrwl’s members have made to the community…”

Rares also said, he feels Nrwl’s values of autonomy and responsibility foster a positive remote work environment:

“There’s a very strong feeling of mutual trust and honesty…[- Very] important in a globally distributed remote company. Trust that you know when and where you’re most productive, that you can work unsupervised, lead and take responsibility in specific areas…. And you can really see that at Nrwl… In how proud everyone seems, and with how much success and growth the company has had.”
