What I'm looking for

I am a Technical Lead and Senior Developer with a strong passion for web performance and delivering exceptional cross-device experiences. My career has been marked by a commitment to optimizing API performance and enhancing user engagement through innovative solutions. At Nevvon, I successfully implemented new APIs that improved response times by 30%, significantly impacting customer satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I have led teams to deliver projects more efficiently, boosting development speed by 25% and reducing operational costs by 40% through strategic optimizations. My experience spans various roles, including Staff Developer at CourierGateway, where I developed a real-time data system for over 20,000 users, and Senior Developer at the Interaction Design Foundation, where I managed AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure to enhance system resilience and performance.
