New post - 'An intro to agile for new devs'
The core of my skillset is front end, including expertise in React, page load performance, accessibility and authoring UI component libraries. I also have 8 years’ solid experience of Node.js.
I understand every angle of a successful agile team including user-centred research and design, continuous delivery, TDD, test automation & strategy, pairing and shared ownership of quality and dev-ops.

Update - AP Video Hub
I was involved in the build of AP Video Hub in 2012 and the site has enjoyed huge growth since.
It was one of the most enjoyable projects I've ever worked on and a bit of a coming of age for me as a developer. I took charge of the front end architecture and had to justify my decisions to my colleagues, not without occasional opposition! Every person in the room was senior level.
When you get a good front end dev (that's me!) and a talented designer together you can really make an interface sing.
I was very proud of the result, it proved that a real-time app can be built with the speed and robustness that are gained from using progressive enhancement.
