About

Hi, I’m Edward Simpson, a frontend-focused software engineer with strong backend capabilities and a passion for scalable, maintainable code. I lead frontend initiatives, implement robust back-end integrations, and mentor junior developers. I am passionate about scalable, performant TypeScript/JavaScript, mobile-first approaches, and test-driven development, with strict and enforced coding standards.

I enjoy collaborating with product and design teams to translate complex requirements into robust features, and I excel in cross-functional teams delivering high-quality, maintainable code and modern UI libraries that improve development efficiency across projects.
