Andrew Sayward

I currently work as the senior front-end developer in a team creating careers websites for a variety of clients in various sectors. I am responsible for the development and mentorship of a number of juniors, and have gained key management skills and leadership abilities. I also handle product manager responsibilities, bridging communication between the technical team and business stakeholders.

Within this role, I have honed my expertise in NextJS/React, Typescript, SCSS, and Headless CMS, while maintaining strong foundational skills in HTML, CSS, and JS/ES6. Our team develops Next JS applications that process API-driven data for job listings and CMS content, involving extensive conditional rendering, array manipulation, and Typescript validation.

Having already had a few years experience in GSAP I am currently exploring Framer Motion and how the combination of both can create complex and engaging animations to enhance UI designs by adding transitions between component states and page changes.

I am currently learning NodeJS and MongoDB to start developing myself as a full-stack developer with a focus on the front-end, to be able to both take on a higher number of projects/challenges and to be able to communicate more clearly when working with back-end developers.
