01. About me

A bit about me

I'm Adnan — a front-end software engineer based in Slough, UK with 5 years of commercial experience. I specialise in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, and I've spent the last few years delivering real-time social proof integrations across 40+ enterprise e-commerce platforms at Taggstar.

Before that I was at MethodWorx where I led the front-end modernisation of the Pizza Express platform — migrating a legacy KnockoutJS codebase to React and pushing Lighthouse scores from 40% to 89%. I also built a full-stack exit survey solution spanning a React front-end, .NET API, and automated C# reporting job.

Outside of work I enjoy exploring new tools — currently experimenting with Rust and Next.js on side projects. If you have an interesting role or project, get in touch.
