I’m a JavaScript and Python wizard who can create blazing-fast and accessible web applications for any device and audience. With 10 years of experience in web development, I have:

• Developed dozens of web applications using JavaScript and Python frameworks, with a focus on Vue.js, Django and Flask.
• Created progressive web apps that work offline, load fast, and provide a native-like user experience.
• Improved web accessibility and performance by implementing best practices such as semantic HTML, progressive enhancement, lazy loading, and code splitting.
• Optimized web animations and transitions using CSS3, SVG, and Canvas, resulting in smoother and more engaging user interactions.

I’m passionate about web accessibility and UI performance, and I’m always eager to learn new skills and technologies. I recently returned from an amazing month-long trip to India, where I visited many historic places and learned about the rich culture and history of the country. This experience has inspired me to explore more opportunities and expand my horizons.

• Full stack software engineer with 10 years of experience in developing and deploying web applications using JavaScript, Python, Vue.js, Flask, Django, RabbitMQ, Postgres, and AWS.
• Standardized front end components in Vue.js, building a reusable and maintainable library.
• Wrote RESTful microservices from scratch in Python and JavaScript, ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Optimized page loads by up to 80%, improving user satisfaction and retention.
• Built PWAs that were offline ready and performant, providing a native-like user experience.
• Managed a team of up to 8 developers, mentoring junior engineers and leading Scrum sprints.
• Managed deployments of applications using AWS, ensuring security and compliance.
• Built integrations with other services, both in-house and third party, enhancing functionality and interoperability.

Seeking a challenging and rewarding position that allows me to use my full stack skills and creativity to solve complex web development problems.

I have a B.Sc. in Software Engineering from the University of Westminster where I specialised in web technologies. My final year project was all about creating a rudimentary game engine using C++. This was over a decade ago so a lot has changed since then.
