JP Erasmus
George, South Africa
Full Stack JavaScript Engineer with 8+ years of experience and still in love with the craft. Over the years, I have had the privilege to lead (and be led by incredible leaders) on projects large and small. Being in the trenches with top-class people, solving real problems, is what gets me up in the morning. I'm naturally very driven, so having to keep up with new Web technology suits me well.

Tech Lead
Responsive Digital
Feb 2015 - Jun 2020 (5 years 4 months)
Tech Lead
In typical start-up fashion, I wear many hats, but primarily I have focused on two projects: myCHEP and Flamelink.
Flamelink - A Firebase CMS
I lead the technical charge for Responsive's first in-house product (PWA) that has been in production
since Sep 2017. With over 12 000 users, spanning 80% of countries worldwide.
• Fullstack development for the React progressive web app, JavaScript/TypeScript
micro-services and SDK development, CI/CD maintenance, Gatsby source plugin
development, documentation and technical user support
• My most significant achievements have been developing the Stripe subscription integration, architecting an auto-scaling Webhooks solution, and building the official
JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for both the Firebase Realtime and Cloud Firestore databases.
myCHEP - Logistics Portal
myCHEP is a truly global project with complexities rivalling most.
- Hundreds of people distributed across the globe, thousands of business rules, millions of
transactions in near real-time
- 21 languages in 65 countries, with 16.5 M+ operations per year, 50k+ end users
• Senior frontend developer and chapter lead overseeing all the frontend feature teams.
• Ensured clear communication between the different feature teams, making technical stack
decisions, presenting bi-weekly feedback to global business leads (show & tell), developing
features, assisting project managers and scrum masters with task allocations, and configuring
build tools to ensure coding standards and excellent developer experience.
