Currently building the full stack of a project for generating interior design documents using React with Typescript and hooks. I've worked on a new large site for a fintech using Typescript, hooks, Jest, styled components plus maintenance and enhancement across several sites. Also have built an automatic form generator using JSON-schema, Typescript and hooks. I've built a few other sites and done maintenance on other people's React work too over the past 2 years.

Joined this digital agency as lead developer on a new account for a leading restaurant chain. The site had been developed in Kentico by a previous agency - I had to pick it up and integrate it's online shop with the API of the company's fulfillment provider and also their sales analytics company while dealing with the BAU workstream. The enhancement was finished for the Christmas season and performed well.
