Senior Software Developer, External worker to McKinsey on Wave
Full-stack JavaScript development with an emphasis on front-end, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Svelte, user experience and animation.

During this time I have been an external worker to McKinsey & Company on the Wave platform, as well as building a bespoke React-based e-commerce platform for the American Institute of CPAs, Storybook-based design systems, and building enterprise-level software deployed across multiple AWS instances..

Technology includes Node.js, React and Svelte, as well as debugging tools such as Postman and Storybook and applying test-driven development.

The bulk of my work has been on an enterprise-level project in a large (30+) team writing and testing server-side code using Node.js, front-end React, tests and running deployments with Jenkins.

My role is primarily front-end, working closely with design and front-end testing to ensure the client's goals are achieved and products are delivered that work for customers. This has been achieved using Agile working practices, and using functional programming, test-driven develment, and Lean methodology.
