About

Hi, I’m Alex Bourt. I’m a senior front-end engineer with 15+ years of experience building production-grade applications and UI systems. I specialize in JavaScript/TypeScript, modern front-end architecture, accessibility, and UX design. I collaborate across design and engineering, translating complex requirements into reliable, high-quality implementations with an eye for clarity and long-term maintainability.

I enjoy bridging design and code, working in teams or independently to deliver scalable design systems and accessible interfaces that improve user experiences.
