About me

Senior Front End Developer with around ten years of experience building and leading the front end of client-facing web applications.

I have been the lead front-end developer on multiple live products spanning payments, identity verification, events, and subscriptions, working primarily in JavaScript, Vue, Liquid, and GraphQL with Stripe, Make.com, and SendGrid integrations, and currently expanding into React and TypeScript.

I am known as the go-to developer for complex, hard-to-reproduce issues. Beyond shipping features, I mentor colleagues, introduce reusable processes, and build internal AI tooling that the wider team now relies on every day.

Personal Projects

Self-built, end to end. Where I work outside the client stack, from full-stack apps to AI automations.

Building With AI

A suite of internal automation tools I designed and built on Claude, now used across the team every day. They cut our PR and deployment workflow from around 30 minutes to about 5, and cluster around delivery discipline and visibility: shipping releases safely, verifying quality, and keeping everyone informed.

deployment-plan

Generates a structured deployment plan for a release: steps, rollback tag, PR, downtime, and comms.

Team impact

Gives every developer a consistent, repeatable release process, removing guesswork and reducing deployment mistakes across the team.

post-deployment

Runs the full post-release cleanup: pushes master, aligns the UAT branch, tags the release, updates the deployment calendar, posts the release note, and hands off to support.

Team impact

Closes the loop on every deployment automatically, keeping release records and project tracking accurate so anyone backtracking a release has a reliable audit trail.

spec-check-report

Checks a build against its spec and reports the gaps.

Team impact

Helps developers and QA catch missed requirements before handover, improving delivery quality and cutting rework.

generate-documentation

Turns a project's component markdown into a branded, client-ready document.

Team impact

Lets any team member produce consistent, well-formatted documentation fast, with no manual formatting.

task-summary

Reads a task and its full comment thread and produces a structured catch-up summary.

Team impact

Anyone joining a task gets up to speed in seconds instead of reading every comment, which is especially valuable for a distributed team.

eod-report

Pulls daily time logs, classifies deliverables vs meetings, captures the logs, and posts an end-of-day or midday standup.

Team impact

Standardises daily reporting across the team and gives managers visibility on billable vs non-billable time and what shipped each day.
