I am interested in working on projects/products with a positive social impact. Other characteristics that drive my interest are a well defined product vision and a great engineering culture.
Even though the technology I used in my most recent work experience was JavaScript and Node.js, I have solid software development skills that can have a meaningful impact in projects developed with different technologies.
I'm looking forward to new experiences and challenges.

The first point applies to TypeScript too. It's hard to integrate a library that doesn't have a type definition or don't play well with its module system. This week I started to work on a Node hobby project and decided to use TypeScript. I rolled back my decision after noticing that it was not possible to include installed node npm modules using the ES6 syntax.
They'll probably fix this issue sooner rather than later but in the meanwhile it's a critical issue.
I just did a small typescript prototype and used the import syntax there. It might have been your typescript version as 1.5 recently came out (and I was using the 1.5 beta 2).
The hardest part is what you described at the start. If it doesn't have a type definition it's hard. DefinitelyTyped helps a lot (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/tsd)
I had to create a type definition for something that wasn't there. It was annoying because I had to make the equivalent of a header file before I could use a library.
You can use ES6 import/exports in typescript (see https://github.com/Keats/react-boilerplate/blob/master/src/a... for an example) but some of the import don't work exactly like babel would, ie you sometimes have to use import * as myName from "foo" rather than import myName from "foo"
I'd like to congratulate you for such an impressive user interface: so fast, sleek and well designed. For the purpose of creating mocks I'd like to have more prebuilt components though.
