Musings on my lessons learnt from a different technical stack
Andru Dunn
Senior Design Engineer at Upgrowth 🌏
I like solving problems.
I enjoy the challenge of both creative and strategic thinking, and I love being part of a team creating something.
Helping bridge the gap between design and development is my passion, and I have spent my career at Britain's best-loved retailers doing just that.
Work History
I've worked across numerous multi-disciplinary teams, and have learnt a lot from the challenges of designing and developing solutions at scale.
I'm an expert in Javascript and scalable UI applications. My background is design however, and feel just as competent writing software as I am designing in Sketch or Framer.
I have been enjoying building great web experiences with React, NodeJS and Kubernetes.
