I’m a React & TypeScript Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable web applications across SaaS, enterprise, and AI-driven products. I specialise in React, Next.js, and full-stack JavaScript with strong experience integrating APIs, optimising performance, and automating testing pipelines. My clients and teams value me for delivering high-performing, accessible, and maintainable interfaces—and for having the architectural range to handle backend integration and DevOps when needed. I’ve built production-grade systems for government, enterprise, and startup environments, including integrations with AWS Cognito, Azure Active Directory, and e-signature platforms. Recent highlights: • Led front-end architecture for an AI-powered M&A platform (Hyperlex AI) built with React/Next.js, Hasura, and Node.js. • Introduced Storybook and Cypress to replace legacy workflows, cutting UI defect fixes by 30%. • Refactored AngularJS applications into modern Angular and React stacks while achieving WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. • Delivered event-driven Node.js and GraphQL systems for organisations such as the SA Museum, Beaumont Tiles, and Adelaide Hills Tourism. I bring a solution-first mindset—bridging user experience, scalability, and clean engineering practices. Whether you need a front-end specialist or full-stack contributor to get an MVP, refactor legacy code, or optimise your product for performance, I can help you ship confidently.
