Senior Full-Stack JavaScript Developer

I architected and engineered an open-source, ultra-high-performance financial charting library from the ground up using Vanilla JavaScript and native Web Components. The project was designed to eliminate framework overhead and provide fast, scalable data visualization for financial applications.

I built a low-latency, event-driven state-management architecture for intensive real-time streaming data with minimal memory consumption. I also created extensible APIs, graphical layers, event hooks, custom indicator support, responsive and touch interfaces, and framework-agnostic integration for Vue, React, Angular, and legacy stacks.

The technical proof of concept secured dedicated development funding from an early-stage startup.

I delivered custom websites, WordPress migrations, responsive front ends, back-office administration tools, e-commerce integrations, technical support, and client training for organizations and creative businesses in Europe, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Projects included Alexier.com, KathrinaSofie.de, SSRS.net.au, Galerie10.at, MoreImages.net, Body Armor, RowPerfect.co.uk, SMLXL.co.uk, and No-Straight-Lines.com.

I worked directly with non-technical clients to scope requirements, regain domain and hosting control, plan migrations, prepare proposals and costings, and enable clients to independently administer their sites. My work included PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, WordPress, Zen Cart, content management, SEO, image processing, and ongoing maintenance.

For FantasticVisions.net and Beinart.org, I created and supported content-rich artist community and e-commerce platforms, including WordPress, BuddyPress, phpBB, Zen Cart, multilingual content, interviews, photography, video documentation, and promotion.

I was engaged by the Amsterdam agency to diagnose and recover front-end projects that were behind schedule and over budget. I rapidly assessed unfamiliar codebases, assets, requirements, and technical risks before providing written appraisals to project management.

I delivered front-end troubleshooting and development support for projects including Brand World, Fear Net, FOA, and OMA. The work involved both on-site and remote collaboration, rapid problem-solving, and clear communication with project teams.

I designed, implemented, and maintained websites and online initiatives for British Council programs across Australia and Southeast Asia. I worked on Montage World projects for Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Australia, as well as British Council Australia initiatives.

The standardized designs I developed for British Council Southeast Asia were adopted and formalized by the London head office as a documented specification. I also supported portal redesigns, newsletter signup pages, site maintenance, and client-facing web improvements.

I completed a six-month contract with a large Sydney web development company, delivering front-end development, Flash and Director work for web and CD-ROM products, visual design, art direction, and project documentation.

I contributed to client work for Telstra, Roche, Deans Property, and Fastnet. I was responsible for interpreting client briefs, producing designs, implementing interactive components, and taking final creative responsibility for selected deliverables.

I completed a three-month contract producing a Macromedia Director training CD-ROM package. I designed the visual interface, screen styles, content layouts, and graphical usability approach for the training product.

I advised on script implementation, video integration, and interaction design, and created Lingo scripting to support the package.

I co-managed a multimedia production company, handling client acquisition, research, costings, price negotiation, subcontractor management, graphic design, animation, website development, interactive CD-ROMs, and live internet broadcasts.

I contributed to projects including the 4ZZZ FM Market Day live webcast, multimedia dance events, the Brisbane Powerhouse opening event, W@rp TV, and performance visuals for Full Fathom Five. My work combined project coordination with visual design, live video, animation, web production, and event technical support.

I designed the graphical user interface for industrial plant operators to monitor and control automated weights-and-measures systems. I implemented front-end code in Clarion and integrated the interface with C++ back-end code and programmable logic controllers.

This role required practical interface design for operational environments and close attention to system behavior, usability, and technical integration.

I worked on Stargunner, a PC game published by Apogee USA, providing artistic direction, static graphics, and animation. The work required strict management of color palettes, graphic dimensions, and memory limitations.

Working within these hardware constraints developed my long-term discipline for efficient design, optimization, and high-performance digital production.
