Profile

Senior Front End Developer with around ten years of experience building and leading the front end of client-facing web applications. Lead 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 building full-stack applications with React, Tailwind, and Supabase (PostgreSQL) outside the client stack. Currently expanding into TypeScript. Known as the go-to developer for complex, hard-to-reproduce issues, with a track record of mentoring colleagues, introducing reusable processes, and building internal AI tooling and automations (Claude, n8n) that the wider team relies on daily.
