Hi, I'm Tony, a
software engineer.
I'm Tony Prokop, a software engineer based in Omaha, Nebraska. I work across the stack - UI/UX, APIs, database and the infrastructure it all runs on. I care most about the parts people feel: performance, reliability and polish.

Engineer by trade, generalist by habit
I've spent 10 years building for the web, from eCommerce checkout funnels to a customer-facing API platform, mostly on the frontend and in the places where the product meets the systems behind it. I care about interfaces that are fast, accessible and intuitive.

What people I work with say
He's an inspiration
“Tony has had a massive impact on User Portal and his fellow devs. He shows great initiative, consistently goes above and beyond expectations, and is constant inspiration for others. We are incredibly fortunate to have him and his expertise.”
Cathal Mac DonnachaPrincipal Software EngineerHe's easy to work with
“I worked with Tony to setup a website for my small business. Tony was consultative and responsive throughout the entire process. This enabled us to get the website built quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tony. He is easy to work with.”
Greg SchmadererBusiness OwnerBetter than AI
“Forget the AI hype, all focus should be in cloning Tony. The dude is the best parts of humans and machine. He cranks out perfect code with a thoughtfulness and humor.”
Shannon SorensenSenior Product DesignerHe's my "go-to"
“This recognition is long overdue, Tony has helped me out on several occasions now - he has become my "go-to" person when I have frontend questions. He always makes my issue feel important and finds time to help out! Appreciate you Tony!”
Vivek PatelSenior Software EngineerHow does he do it?
“I'm not sure how he does it, but Tony has been everywhere the last few weeks. He somehow finds time to hop on a zoom, answer questions async, and give feedback on PRs all while breezing through his own sprint work. Truly an inspiration friend!”
