Interview with our front-end tech leads

On this episode of Roadmap, Pete is joined by Thomas Stapleton (aka Stapes) and Ryan Bendel to talk about all things Front-End development at Autotrader.

Find out what a Front-End Web Developer actually does, what the typical Frontend tech stack looks like in 2025, and why Front-End is more exciting than Back-End - but not necessarily easier (we’ll let you decide!).

They also delve into career journeys, what it means to be a Frontend Tech Lead, and their top tips for anyone looking to break into or level up in Front-End Development.
