Work Experience

Senior Frontend Developer / Web Team Lead at Intellitect Water Ltd
June 1, 2021 - Present
Lead a team of 3-5 developers end-to-end: sprint planning, standups, retros, PR reviews, and technical hiring interviews. Architected and shipped a multi-tenant B2B SaaS platform from scratch — React frontend, Laravel/MySQL backend — used in live production by water utility clients. Led multiple business-critical service migrations: legacy PHP re-platformed to Laravel/React, database engine and major-version upgrades, hosting provider moves, CMS re-platforming, and CI/CD tooling migrations — all delivered without production downtime. Introduced AI-assisted development to the team — championing Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and AI-powered code review — and established adoption guidelines that measurably accelerated delivery while maintaining quality and reliability.
