I am a passionate and dedicated front-end developer with a first-class honours degree in Mathematics, complemented by extensive experience in business ownership and web development. I believe that evidence of not doing something is not evidence that I can’t do something; with that mindset, anything is possible. Currently, I’m a Junior Front-End Developer at Albany Beck (contracted to S&P Global), embedding within S&P Global to design, develop, and maintain large-scale, production-grade web applications used globally by enterprise clients. I led the front-end architecture and development of a brand-new React application from greenfield concept to production release, using React, Vite, and a micro-frontend approach; automated front-end testing with Jest and React Testing Library to achieve high unit test coverage; and designed modular, reusable component libraries for scalability and maintainability. I collaborate with designers, backend engineers, and product stakeholders in an Agile environment, and have supported cross-team migration and deployment initiatives.
