I’m a frontend engineer in the UK, about three years in. I write TypeScript most days and keep drifting deeper into the stack whenever a problem I care about asks me to. Lately that’s meant regulated products, where a column that lines up wrong on a report is the sort of bug someone has to explain out loud in a room.

I care about typography more than I let on in stand-up. The work I’m proudest of is the quiet kind: a component that drops cleanly into a design system, a migration that ships without a single Slack message, a page that’s already loaded before you thought to wonder if it would.

Away from the screen I’m reading more poetry than I write, learning to cook the same four dishes properly, and, as of this year, learning to swim. I’m slow and a little graceless in the water, but I keep showing up, which is roughly how I feel about most things worth getting good at. Right now I’m looking for the next team worth joining, ideally a scale-up that treats the frontend as its own craft.
