Why hire me
What I bring to the team
Shipped real products
Both projects are live in production — not toy apps. Preloved serves real users; CP Ryzen has 318 commits, 205 tests, and a CI/CD pipeline optimised for cost.
500+ commits across both projects
Test-driven mindset
I write tests as part of the feature, not after the fact. 80% code coverage enforced by the CI gate — nothing merges that breaks the coverage threshold.
205 unit tests · 80% coverage
Accessibility-first
WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance built from day one in Preloved — keyboard navigation, ARIA labelling, and screen reader support. Accessibility isn't a checkbox, it's a habit.
WCAG AA certified output
DevOps-aware developer
I own the full pipeline — from writing code to configuring the CI/CD workflow that runs it. Cut monthly GitHub Actions costs by 95% through targeted pipeline optimisation.
95% CI/CD cost reduction
Cross-stack versatility
Comfortable across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and C# — frontend (React, Next.js) and backend (FastAPI, .NET, Firebase). I can contribute wherever the team needs me.

Agile from day one
