Redux has remained a cornerstone of modern web development for nearly a decade, thanks to a passionate global community of innovators.

These include prolific open-source contributors, startup founders still coding hands-on, influential educators and content creators, engineers shaping products at major tech companies, and award-winning thought leaders. Below is an updated and curated list of 12 of the world’s best Redux developers, selected for their outstanding contributions across these areas:

  1. Jay Phelps
  2. Samer Buna
  3. Tim Dorr
  4. Preethi Kasireddy
  5. Erik Rasmussen
  6. Ben Lesh
  7. Jared Palmer
  8. Lenz Weber-Tronic
  9. Max Stoiber
  10. Wes Bos
  11. Swizec Teller
  12. Jenn Creighton

Now, let’s delve into their remarkable journeys and contributions:

Jay Phelps

YouTube Video

Nationality: American

Co-creator of Redux-Observable and RxJS core team alum.

Jay pioneered bringing Reactive Extensions to Redux by co-authoring redux-observable, enabling async logic via RxJS observables. A former Netflix engineer, he’s an expert in reactive programming and frequent conference speaker. Jay’s contributions bridge Redux with the reactive paradigm.

Samer Buna

Nationality: Palestinian

Author of “Redux in Action” and pluralsight courses.

Samer has authored books and tutorials simplifying Redux for developers, and ran jsComplete offering interactive learning. He provides a balanced take on state management, showing when Redux is useful in large apps and when simpler patterns suffice. His teaching has spanned Node, GraphQL, and React – often circling back to managing state effectively.

Tim Dorr

Tim Dorr - 12 Best Redux Developers

Nationality: American

Redux core maintainer and community leader.

Tim became a Redux maintainer alongside Mark Erikson, managing releases and issues. He also contributed to React Router in its early days and created tools like Redux DevTools Extension integration. Tim has served as CTO at startups, bringing real-world expertise to Redux’s evolution.

Preethi Kasireddy

The best way to learn is to build. Don’t just read or watch—create, struggle, and iterate.

Nationality: American

Engineer-turned-writer who demystified complex tech, including Redux.

Preethi’s famous blog posts (like “How to understand Redux”) and her talk comparing Redux vs MobX at React Europe 2017 helped developers evaluate state management paradigms. Now a founder and author, she continues to influence developers’ understanding of fundamental concepts through her writing.

Erik Rasmussen

Erik Rasmussen - 12 Best Redux Developers

Nationality: American

Author of Redux Form, one of the earliest solutions for form state in Redux.

An American expat in Spain, Erik built Redux Form to manage complex form inputs in Redux, later creating React Final Form as a framework-agnostic successor. He’s an active OSS maintainer (e.g. the “ducks” modular Redux pattern) and a speaker/teacher in the React community.

Ben Lesh

Nationality: American

Creator of RxJS and co-maintainer of redux-observable.

Ben’s work on reactive streams empowered the Redux middleware redux-observable to handle async actions with elegance. A frequent speaker (Google Developer Expert) and RxJS team lead, he bridged the gap between Redux’s deterministic state and Reactive Programming’s event streams. His influence encourages thinking beyond promises for side effects.

Jared Palmer

Jared Palmer - 12 Best Redux Developers

Nationality: American

Creator of Formik (popular form library) and veteran open-source contributor.

While Formik abstracts away Redux for forms, Jared’s work reflects a deep understanding of state management trade-offs. He has built tools like Razzle and Backstage, and as a startup founder (Turborepo, acquired by Vercel) he continues to influence React developers.

Lenz Weber-Tronic

Nationality: German

Co-maintainer of Redux Toolkit and creator of RTK Query. Lenz (user “phryneas”) joined the Redux core team to modernize Redux APIs. He helped develop Redux Toolkit (reducing boilerplate) and RTK Query for data fetching. Now at Apollo GraphQL, Lenz advocates for improved DX in state management.

Max Stoiber

Max Stoiber - 12 Best Redux Developers

Nationality: Austrian

React-Boilerplate creator and OSS entrepreneur.

Max built react-boilerplate, a popular Redux starter kit, to help developers jumpstart projects with best practices. Co-founder of Spectrum (acquired by GitHub) and now Director of Engineering at Shopify, he’s known for styled-components but also for integrating Redux into robust app architectures.

Wes Bos

Nationality: Canadian

Renowned instructor who taught Redux to thousands.

Wes is a Canadian developer and creator of the free “Learn Redux” video course, which made Redux approachable for beginners. Co-host of the Syntax.fm podcast, he’s helped countless devs grasp state management through his courses and tutorials.

Swizec Teller

Swizec Teller - 12 Best Redux Developers

Nationality: Slovenian

Engineer, author, and blogger.

Swizec has written extensively on React and Redux, including patterns for using Redux in real-world apps (and when to replace it with simpler tools). A prolific blogger and author of “Serverless React” and “React + D3”, he offers senior-level insights on scaling state management.

Jenn Creighton

Nationality: American

Staff engineer and speaker known for Redux expertise.

Jenn gave conference talks on advanced Redux patterns (“Redux is Dead, Long Live Redux”) and has advocated for maintainable state architectures at companies like Netflix and Apollo. As an organizer of Women of React and a podcast host, she’s also a role model championing diversity in the Redux/React community.
