• Implementing login security protocols for the UI (via Auth0), while allowing dynamic security protocols for different clients.

• Making architectural decisions when building a new dynamic UI component library, with a strong focus on API integration, security, and bundle configuration.
• Extensive use of modern React patterns, e.g. the Context API and Redux, when building new SaaS features.

• Adhered to industry-leading tech practices, including scrum and agile work processes, extensive testing and code reviews, and a constant pursuit of the latest technologies.
• My role asked my to mentor and support many junior devs, which has greatly improved my communication and teaching abilities. I am patient and always seek to explain concepts in their most simple forms, to then layer on complexity when needed. I also know the art of asking a junior the right question to ensure they have actually understood what was said.
