What I'm looking for

I seek a front-end/Angular role on a collaborative, agile team building accessible, high-performance web applications where I can mentor others and grow my full-stack and UX expertise.

I am a Front End and Full Stack developer with two decades of experience building customer-facing web and mobile applications, particularly for banking and enterprise clients. I specialize in Angular (1.5–11), TypeScript, responsive design and accessibility (WCAG), and delivering high-performance single-page applications.

I have worked as an Angular/Front End developer on large-scale projects for major financial institutions, building reusable component libraries, implementing best practices, contributing to architecture decisions, and mentoring peers. I regularly collaborate within Agile/SCRUM product teams and have delivered solutions that emphasize scalability, maintainability and user experience.

As a self-employed Director and Full Stack Developer, I created UI frameworks, managed client relationships and projects, and trained non-technical staff and junior developers. I bring a pragmatic, user-focused approach and enjoy mentoring, continuous learning and solving complex front-end challenges.
