Software Engineer
Feb 2025 - Present
Joined a newly established team to plan and develop the GoVo platform from the ground up—an innovative application that enables volunteers to connect with opportunities posted by charities to assist those in need. As part of a small, agile team, actively participated in planning sessions and tech stack discussions, contributing to critical architectural decisions. Successfully built this comprehensive full-stack application in just 9 months, featuring a powerful bulk upload system for opportunities, dedicated corporate dashboards for charities, volunteer dashboards for tracking engagement, and an intuitive homepage where users can search for opportunities by postcode. Currently maintaining and enhancing the platform, developing new features, fixing bugs, and optimizing performance using Next.js, TypeScript, Material UI, and Tailwind CSS. Working with UX designers, BAs, and product owners to implement user-facing improvements and enhance the functionality and user interface of web and mobile applications, contributing to technology solutions that transform lives across the UK.
