Jörg von Dzerzawa — Full-stack engineer & front-end lead
Humanities-driven empathy meets technical rigor. I build scalable front-ends in TypeScript and own the design-to-engineering handoff — so what ships matches what was designed, in every market.
01 — WhoThe Person The Professional
The bridge between people & pixels.
I came to engineering the long way round — from a liberal-arts education to 800 hours at a coding bootcamp to leading front-end for one of the DCX teams at one of the world's biggest car brands. That detour is the point: I read the room as carefully as I read the spec.
Self-taught, 800h at BeCode

02 — What
Selected work
Highlights from shipping different digital front doors and the systems that keep apps consistent, fast and accessible.
01Toyota Motor Europe
53countries, one source of truth
Design Tokens Pipeline
A token pipeline that automates the Figma-to-code handoff. One change propagates to all 53 countries from a single source of truth — no manual re-skinning, no drift between design and build.
02Toyota Motor Europe
28markets served
Reusable UI Pattern Library
A library of accessible, composable UI patterns the whole team builds from. Pages that used to be one-off builds now assemble from tested parts.
03WCAG 2 · Front-end Lead
AAacross the experience
Accessibility Program
Made WCAG 2.x AA the default, not an afterthought — accessibility built into code reviews, shared patterns and the team's definition of done, so new work ships compliant.

BubblyDoo Design System
A custom React design system built inside Builder.io, with content migrated into its CMS. Components are A/B-tested and editors update pages without engineering.
03 — Where
The journey
From a humanities lecture hall to leading front-end within a DCX team at Toyota — every step kept the human in the loop.
2023 — PresentBrussels, BE
Toyota Motor Europe via Capgemini
Front-end Lead · AEM Consultant
Where individual-contributor work became leadership. I own the front-end for Toyota's DCX touchpoints across 28 markets — the flagship builds are in Selected Work above; this chapter is about scope and the team.
- Set the front-end standards and run code reviews
- Mentor engineers across the team
- Translate technical constraints into language stakeholders can act on
2022 — 2023Brussels, BE
Toyota Motor Europe via Capgemini
Full-stack Engineer · AEM Consultant
My first chapter at Toyota: learning the DCX platform end to end and shipping features on sprint cadence — the grounding the lead role was built on.
- Shipped user stories on sprint cadence
- Paired with QA to detail and fix bugs
2022 — PresentDiegem, BE
Capgemini
Full-stack Engineer · AEM Consultant
My consulting home base — and the employer behind the Toyota placements above (Capgemini employs me; Toyota is the client). Enterprise CMS architecture and delivery.

BubblyDoo
Full-stack Intern
First time owning a design system in production — where I learned that component architecture is a product decision, not just a technical one. The build itself is in Selected Work above.
- A first production design system, end to end
- Design ↔ engineering on a small, fast team
2021 — 2022Antwerp, BE

Full-stack Developer Course
The hard reset: 800 hours of team-based, Scrum-driven coding that turned a humanities graduate into an engineer.
- Solid fundamentals across the web stack
- Project work, solo and in teams

Where it started. A multidisciplinary foundation in analysis, synthesis and communication — the "empathy" half of the tagline, and still the part that makes the engineering land.
