FlightRadar24 is the world’s most popular flight tracking app with roughly 1.5m daily active users.

As part of the Map Kanban Team, I was responsible for maintaining the web map / associated UI with migrating the significant legacy codebase. Tech included, but was not limited to, VueJS, SASS, ES3 (for legacy code), TypeScript, GoogleMaps API and GoogleAds amongst others. Due to the high amount of traffic, UI performance was an integral part in architectural decision making. Given the nature of the legacy code we also implemented e2e testing with Cypress.

As Freelancer working with creative agencies, I was lucky enough to work on an AR Experience for Johnnie Walker as part of their launch. The project was an AR web experience using an animated dire wolf or dragon (depending on which bottle you had) that interacted with the scene. I was responsible for UI development and some webgl bits and pieces.

STV is the largest commercial broadcaster in Scotland. Initially responsible for front-end working with SASS / ES6 / Gulp / PHP / Twig templating and Angular 1 across different projects. Initially dealing with development on our legacy news app, I moved on to being part of the transition to full stack / universal JS using React / Redux / Next.js / Express on a daily basis working on STVs flagship Player application, data products and news sites. Other tasks included working with HTML video and ad tech and working with the design team.

Whilst working on STV's news app, my colleagues and I were constantly presented with depressing stories, it can affect your mental health.

So I built a chrome plugin that makes the world seem just a little bit nicer. The plugin hits up an API to get a list of words to pull the 'ol switcheroo on and subsequently swaps out any images for that of a baby animal. So for example "man murdered by drug dealer" becomes "man hugged by small child". The project is discontinued now but a foremer colleague and I are looking to resurrect the plugin and get it on the chrome store.

Work.
