About

Hi, I'm Darren 👋 I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Dundee, Scotland, with over 10 years shipping on product teams across B2B platforms, consumer products, and growth, primarily with React and TypeScript.

I've worked across frontend, full-stack and engineering management roles at small and medium-sized product companies, which has given me a strong mix of hands-on technical depth and an understanding of how teams and products work together. I'm focused on building high-quality product experiences, with depth in frontend architecture and cross-team collaboration.

After a year of eating my way through Asia, exploring our planet's wonders in Iceland, and making a cookie pilgrimage to Levain's in the USA 🍪🤤, I'm looking forward to getting back to building! Looking for my next IC role - somewhere I can own product features, solve hard problems, and work with good people.

If you'd like to work together have a look at my CV and feel free to get in touch.

Previously, I've worked on projects including:

Analytics and partner management tools for Fortune 500 brands at Partnerize
Growth experimentation and conversion improvements at Stockopedia
A family tree web application serving 13M users at Findmypast
Web applications for Earth observation at the Dundee Satellite Receiving Station
PANGU v4 simulation software for the European Space Agency

Outside of work I enjoy travelling, music and playing guitar, learning Japanese, and getting outdoors for hikes.
