    As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer, I play a pivotal role in the redevelopment of a critical admin panel used organisation-wide. Functioning as a lead developer, I leverage my expertise in React and implement robust solutions that enhance the efficiency and user experience of our core administrative tools.

    Key Achievements and Responsibilities:
  • Admin Panel Reconstruction: Spearheading the redevelopment efforts, I help lead the team in the reconstruction of the core admin panel. This involves a comprehensive overhaul of the user interface using PrimeReact, ensuring a modern and responsive design that aligns with industry best practices.

  • Testing Excellence: Recognising the importance of quality assurance, I am committed to maintaining the reliability and functionality of our applications. I meticulously write tests for all components, utilising Vitest to ensure comprehensive test coverage. This proactive approach has significantly reduced the occurrence of bugs and improved the overall stability of the admin panel.

This involved a deep understanding of both Okta and React, highlighting my problem-solving skills and adaptability.

  • Weekly meetings with New Relic Browser agent developers to discuss about issues or features relating to the product.

Recent Personal Projects



Software & Web Development


  • A web app that allows user to manger Cloudflare Zones.
  • Cloudflarify is a spin off extension to cloudflare-delete-all-dns. This project is a freemium web application used for managing DNS records, by providing advance authentication and data table to view, amend and delete records.

  • The core technologies used to build this app includes React for the frontend; a Firebase backend; Vite & Vitest for build and testing; PrimeReact for UI components; Redux with RTK Query for state management, data fetching (APIs) & caching.

  • This project is a web app that provides the ability to bulk delete Cloudflare DNS records within a Zone. Cloudflare does not currently support this feature.

  • Gives users the ability to integrate an animated sticky navigation bar with the free version of Astra WordPress themes.
    Demo Video 2.

  • Sample apps and a custom YAML config to set up Firebase hosting and deployment with Bitbucket CI/CD pipelines.

  • kmp-website-initialiser
  • KMP Website Initialiser is a template package for structuring your website’s home directory. It comes preloaded with useful files, for example a dynamic and feature packed coming soon and maintenance page; built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
  • This project is no longer available to the public.

  • A web based project utilising Firebase's Cloud Firestore Database and ipify API.

  • Allows quick impersonation of emails from Salesforce cases and users profile on Explorer Hub.
  • During my tenure at New Relic, I identified a crucial gap in our technical support workflow when transitioning from Zendesk to Salesforce. The absence of a seamless customer impersonation feature posed a challenge for employees accustomed to the convenience of a single click in Zendesk.

  • To address this, I developed an internal JavaScript tool. This tool intelligently reads the current Salesforce page, scans for the customer's email address, and, upon retrieval, seamlessly triggers the New Relic API to facilitate impersonation. This innovation not only resolved a critical pain point but also enhanced the efficiency of our technical support teams.

  • As an additional enhancement, I extended the functionality of the tool to include scanning New Relic's community forum, Explorer Hub. This meant that when a New Relic employee accessed a customer's profile on Explorer Hub, they gained the ability to seamlessly impersonate that customer with a single click.

  • For a commendation on this tool, please see my LinkedIn recommendation from Brenn Kucey.

Multimedia

  • A video project that showcases diversity within Mastercard Ireland. Mastercard's Dublin office held the company's first ever annual Intercultural Day in 2018. The video shows Mastercard employees saying "We Are Mastercard" in their native languages/Dialects (myself included). Using my skills and equipment, I contributed to the event by directing, filming and editing the entire project. I used Sony Vegas, Photoshop and After Effects for post-production.
    Here's a great article about the 2019 Intercultural Day at Mastercard Dublin.
