JAN 2022, present: Front-End Developer

●  Lead development projects as tech-lead, creating codebases with simple, modular structures that encourage reusing existing components and features. Best practices were promoted by coding guide-lines and clear naming conventions in the repo read-me and comments at the top of main files.

●  Built reusable components for Fostr’s component library with modern class-based web-components in JavaScript, giving developers simple and modular solutions to previously difficult problems.

●  Synchronised codebase updates with client websites by deploying using the Shopify CI/CD pipeline.

●  Improved Lighthouse scores from under 70 to over 90 on client’s sites by utilising all of CSS’s modern capabilities in UI interactions/animations, making use of ES6 JavaScript modules and relying on Server-Side rendering for conditional logic.

●  Supported growth of team members by mentoring and onboarding junior members on how to use Git, NPM, Shopify CLI and Fostr’s coding conventions via 1 to 1 sessions and constructive feedback in code reviews.

●  Added configurable email and SMS marketing for clients by Integrating 3rd party services into stores through their APIs by building a Node Shopify app with a front end built in React.
