👋
Hi there I'm a front-end focused developer who specialises in JavaScript. I have over 8 years experience creating and optimising web UI's, apps and deliverables. I mainly work with React and Vue, JAMstack, and headless software in the web.
Things I've Worked On:
Things I Want to Work On:
Web applications which are altruistic in their nature and backed by a passionate, honest team who accept each others strengths and weakness, and who prefer to think for themselves and not follow fads. I want to help solve real world problems -- faced by everyday people, and I want to do it with a tech stack that has great defaults. A tech stack which is as decouplable, delcarative, and easy to work with as possible. It's my experience that tech like that allows a team to create freely and happily, whilst avoiding pitfalls and bugs.
Where I Work Well:
In remote-first autonomous teams where I can learn, and teach new things! I like a diverse range of people, from different places and cultures, and I enjoy the abstract thinking which that can ignite. I work well in product teams where I can focus and create, iteratively. I seek out management and colleagues that coach, mentor and collaborate with empathy.
