I'm Patrick Allen, a Senior Design Engineer focused on bridging high-fidelity UI design with production-grade frontend engineering. I specialise in scalable component systems, performant web apps, and fluid, interaction-rich interfaces using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I’ve spent 7+ years delivering complex frontend architectures, from design system authorship to full dispatch and booking platforms, with a strong emphasis on maintainability, UX quality, and cross-team consistency. I’m equally comfortable leading frontend direction on a contract basis or embedded within a product team. I thrive in rapid, feedback-driven cycles and collaborating directly with stakeholders to translate requirements into pixel-perfect implementations that scale over time.…I'm Patrick Allen, a Senior Design Engineer focused on bridging high-fidelity UI design with production-grade frontend engineering.
