About

Born and raised in Wodonga Victoria, I worked with WEB MATRIX for 11 years working remotely from different locations around Australia. My skill base extended to helping with build tools as well as cross-browser compatibility and strong knowledge of building templates for desktop/mobile on open source solutions like Dot Net Nuke, Joomla, Wordpress & Drupal. I have experience with React, React Native and Vue.

My most recent position is with Revium leading the front end team looking after people management, code reviews and documenting standards and processes. I enjoy the challenges that come with being a front end developer, especially with complex and large jobs. I find it satisfying to work out ways to find the most efficient and best solutions possible.

What I love

  • Sketch, Figma

  • Interesting approaches to UI/UX

Rebuild of the site moving from a static build process to a single page app hosted via IIS and leveraging a pre renderer for SEO

  • Research pre renderer and how that can be utilized
  • Solution design for search using Azure search
  • Created solution for kentico to pass data to front end via webapi
  • Code standards and tests

This was the companies first dive into creating their own component library to reuse components accross projects so there was a learning curve for me to introduce the team to the concept.

We documented the library with Storybook and created unit tests using Jest and Mocha to ensure as much longevity and few bugs as possible.
