Evan You, creator of Vue and Vite.

Really interesting guy. Good podcast here: https://corecursive.com/vue-with-evan-you/ and very, very much worth a listen.

His background isn't even software engineering but he has come to spearhead (at least?) two very major projects that have shaped modern web development: Vue and Vite. Both Vue and Vite are notably "simple" and fast relative to their contemporaries.

Vue really stands out as one of the few, pure community driven front-end frameworks that has achieved major uptake (both React and Angular came from the commercial space).
