About
I'm Jack, and I am a web developer, primarily working with modern TypeScript and JavaScript.
I work at a digital agency building single page apps for Google products, and static marketing sites using headless CMS'.
My expertise lies in front end engineering: skilled in React, Next.js, and Angular frameworks, as well as modern styling solutions such as SCSS and styled-components.
I am also comfortable supporting across the stack, be it amending a Python Flask API, updating a SQL query or tweaking a shell script for a CI/CD build process.
I strive for clean, extensible and well tested code.
