Junior Frontend Developer · Manchester, UK

React and TypeScript on the front end, working my way deeper into Node.js and databases. I like problems where the hard part is the data model, not the CSS — though I care about the CSS too.

Settled status, so no sponsorship needed. Open to junior and apprenticeship-level roles in Greater Manchester or remote.

KeyBindy — a searchable database of professional esports players' hardware and in-game settings.

Leleka — a full-stack trip-planning app built with a small team, Apr–Jul 2026. I owned the Trip/Journey feature end to end and integrated it with the team's Express/MongoDB API. I also ran the sprints as Scrum Master, which taught me more about writing clear tickets than about writing code.

WorldSkills UK 2026 — Web Development, Entry Stage. A timed assessment under national competition conditions. Doing frontend work against a clock is a very different skill from doing it comfortably, and it exposed exactly which parts of my process were slow.

Comfortable: JavaScript (ES6+) · TypeScript · React · HTML5 · CSS3 (BEM, Flexbox/Grid) · Git

Have worked with: Next.js · Node.js · Express · MongoDB · PostgreSQL · Prisma · Redux · REST APIs

Learning next: authentication patterns, SQL beyond the basics, and how to structure a backend that won't embarrass me in six months
