🥞 Full-stack development of a subscription based marketplace.👨‍💻 React / Next.js🎨 Tailwind.css🤓 Laravel PHPBuilding a subscription based marketplace with React, Next.js, Tailwind.css, and Laravel for the backend. I love working with UX to create the best experience, and analysing data for conversions from free users to paid subscribers.Previously I built a video training platform using server side rendered templates. Similar to how Hotwire.dev from Basecamp works, we sent SSR templates over the API, rather than JSON. This meant the heavy lifting was done the server (and allowed us to heavily optimise for performance), leaving the front-end for the presentation layer.The end result is a super fast web app with a minuscule footprint; less than 30K CSS, and under 60K JavaScript. If you have seen how Hey.com works, it's a very similar approach.I have also:🎙 Hosted and produced a weekly podcast.🗞 Run a weekly developer newsletter.🎥 Produced video training courses.

👨🏼‍💻 React // Typescript // GraphQL🔥 Tailwind Utility-first CSS💎 Sketch // Framer X💅 Emotion (Styled components)😍 Styled-systemWorking in a cross-functional team, my days were spent coding in React, Typescript, and CSS. I helped take fishbrain.com from a marketing site to a modern web app serving 10+ million users. Working across the full spectrum, from initial idea to implementation, I enjoyed focussing on user experience and improving the overall experience of Fishbrain's web presence.My largest project was taking the lead building a custom design system / component library. I strived for the highest standards in accessibility, HTML, and CSS. I was also focussed on how the system could improve workflows, developer experience, and design consistency. The end product gave every developer at Fishbrain a solid foundation to build custom web-based UIs.I also worked on design and prototyping in Sketch, Zeplin, and Framer X (love using Framer for the interactive prototyping).
