Welcome to my portfolio

I am a Front End Lead focused on building high‑quality user interfaces and leading development teams. While my core strength is the frontend, I’m also comfortable working across the backend when it supports cohesive product delivery. Based in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. Below, you'll find an overview of my approach, skills, and experience. If you'd like to discuss a project, please get in touch.

The Professional

With 25 years in frontend development, I focus on architecture, accessibility, and modern JavaScript frameworks. My approach pairs thoughtful, maintainable UI engineering with close collaboration across the stack to deliver cohesive, reliable solutions.

Frontend Architecture

I design and implement scalable frontend architectures using React, Vue.js, and TypeScript. My expertise in component design, state management, and performance optimization ensures maintainable, high-quality codebases that stand the test of time.

Leadership

Throughout my career, I’ve stepped into leadership roles where I’ve learned that true effectiveness comes from combining strong technical expertise with genuine human values. I prioritize clear communication, support team growth through mentoring, and cultivate collaborative environments where everyone is empowered to excel.

Full-Stack Integration

While specializing in frontend, my understanding of backend systems, APIs, and databases enables seamless collaboration with backend teams. I bridge the gap between frontend and backend, ensuring cohesive solutions and efficient development workflows.

Communicative

Clear communication with stakeholders and team members is essential to successful delivery.

Enthusiastic

Calm and patient, yet genuinely enthusiastic—I stay motivated and curious throughout every project.

AI-Augmented Frontend Development

Leveraging frontend expertise with AI augmentation to deliver high-quality user experiences and support high-performing teams.

How AI Enhances My Workflow & Benefits Clients

By integrating AI tools into my 25-year frontend development expertise, I deliver faster, higher-quality results while maintaining the human insight that makes great software. AI augmentation transforms my workflow and creates tangible value for clients:

  • Accelerated Development: AI assists with code generation and boilerplate, allowing me to focus on architecture and user experience—delivering projects faster without compromising quality
  • Enhanced Code Quality: AI-powered code review and testing suggestions help catch edge cases early, resulting in more robust, maintainable codebases for clients
  • Rapid Prototyping: Quickly iterate on UI concepts and implementations, enabling clients to see and refine ideas faster during the development process
  • Better Documentation: AI helps generate comprehensive documentation and code comments, making projects easier to maintain and scale for client teams
  • Intelligent Problem-Solving: AI assists in exploring multiple technical approaches quickly, ensuring clients get optimal solutions backed by experience and data
  • Cost Efficiency: Faster development cycles and reduced debugging time translate to better value and ROI for clients
  • Knowledge Transfer: AI helps create better onboarding materials and training resources, empowering client teams to maintain and extend the work
  • Human-Led Excellence: AI augments but never replaces human judgment—I maintain full control over architecture decisions, code quality, and user experience

The Result: Faster Delivery, Superior Quality

AI augmentation amplifies my frontend expertise, enabling me to deliver high-quality results in less time. Clients benefit from faster time-to-market, reduced costs, and higher-quality code—all while maintaining the human insight, creativity, and strategic thinking that AI cannot replace. The result is software that delights users and delivers measurable business value.
