Experience

  • Full Stack Developer at VIXIO Regulatory Intelligence
    Nov 2022 - Apr 2026 · 3 yrs 6 mos

    Over three years I grew from learning Vue and Nuxt to leading front-end architecture decisions on a ground-up platform rebuild, serving a significant client base of fintechs and global betting firms with enterprise-level annual subscriptions. For the first two years I worked as part of a four-person team maintaining and extending two Nuxt 2 information delivery platforms covering payment and gambling compliance, serving subscribers who depend on accurate, timely regulatory intelligence to operate legally across multiple jurisdictions. In year three the scope expanded significantly. I contributed to a Jira-style compliance workflow tool built with Vue 3, GraphQL and Tailwind CSS, featuring automated testing with Playwright, helping customers translate complex regulatory changes into tracked, assignable actions across their organisations and business locales worldwide, across a wide number of global jurisdictions. After this I led front-end architecture on the MVP of a consolidated Nuxt 4 and Tailwind 4 platform, designed to replace both legacy platforms and unify content delivery and workflow tooling into a single product. Built from the ground up with static deployment to AWS S3 via Pinia-managed API access against an existing Drupal REST backend, the approach was chosen to minimise infrastructure costs and eliminate server management complexity without sacrificing performance.
