Frontend focussed developer and designer. With a background in design, I have a good eye for what works. Expansive experience of libs and frameworks including Lit, React and Angular with Typescript, CSS et al. along with UX Development and Graphics Suites. I'm a firm believer in "using the platform".

Polecat - Reputation Management
Frontend Developer
April 2017 - December 2021, Bristol
UI development with React in Typescript, incorporating functional programming with RamdaJS, occasionally contributing as a graphic designer. My contributions were various, and included visualisations with D3 and helping to refactor our sites to use React. The team was very gifted and I learnt a great deal. We strived to a fault for best practices and would always make time for stand-ups, retros and hackathons.

web.cv - Personal Start-up
Founder / Fullstack
Sep 2014 - Sep 2015, London
Unsuccessful start-up venture with a team of one. I built the frontend of web.cv with AngularJS with the hope of partnering with a backend engineer. Working by myself was good for discipline, though I certainly lacked the feedback I needed to either move the project forward or understand when to stop.

Contract work as a front-end dev. Clients included several big names from ebay to facebook. Deadlines were tight and I was hardworked but fully enjoyed my time with the team.
Y.CO - The Yacht Company
Fullstack
Nov 2010 - Aug 2013, Monaco
In-house developer for a yacht company based in Monaco. My role within the company was diverse. I mostly worked autonomously, managing projects and building tools for charter destinations and another for charter yacht selections. Whilst at the company I learnt to speak French. Voilà.
