As employee number one I created the frontend from scratch working with stakeholders to quickly iterate on the product whilst maintaining a solid technical foundation.

• I was in charge of the architecture and implementation for all front end projects.
• Onboarded and mentored new developers
• Created a design system and component library to easily integrate with the design team
• Created am editor to allow the rest of the team to quickly and easily iterate on our bespoke schema system

I worked at Goodlord for 6 months as a senior frontend developer. Although I learned a lot from my experience, I ultimately realized it wasn't the right fit for me. Capable of the work, I didn’t feel either party was getting the most out of the relationship.

My responsibilities included:

• Updating legacy jQuery code to modern standards.
• Incident triage and support.
• Maintaining and improving the build process.
• Building out the self-verification process, including integrating Onfido to identify users.

This was my first official role as a senior developer, and it is where I realized how much I enjoyed mentoring and helping others. During my employment, I focused on building genuine rapport with junior developers, helping to build their confidence, providing pragmatic advice and support, as well as advocating on their behalf in senior meetings.
