Tunbridge Wells, UK Open to the right role

Alex Cole

Creative Frontend Developer

Frontend developer since 2009. I lead teams, ship polished products, and build systems that hold up under pressure. Creative by instinct, technical by discipline — with a bias for getting things done properly.

Selected brand experience

Developer
who leads.

I've been building for the web since 2009 — across ecommerce, brand campaigns, product builds, and everything in between.

I care about the craft, the system behind it, and the people doing the work. I like getting in a room with a team, asking the right questions, and making something good happen.

Strong on visual detail. Stronger on delivery.

Based in Tunbridge Wells, UK. Available for in-house or hybrid Dev Lead roles.

Creative
Craft

Design-to-code with intent. Motion, typography, and interaction that earns its place — not decoration for decoration's sake.

  • Frontend development
  • Design-to-code implementation
  • Motion-rich UI
  • Component systems

DevOps &
Delivery

Clean environments. Strong version control. Deployment pipelines that support the team instead of slowing it down.

  • Maintainable architecture
  • Version control discipline
  • Deployment pipelines
  • Release workflows

AI in Real
Workflows

I use AI where it makes things better. Not as a crutch — as a tool with judgment behind it. Experience first, augmentation second.

  • AI-enhanced development
  • Workflow integration
  • First-principles thinking
  • Practical tooling

Good process
isn't overhead.

It's how work stays calm. Frontend should be a foundation — not a liability.

Clean handover

Documentation, structure, and naming that the next developer can actually work with.

Strong environments

Dev, staging, production — set up properly from day one. No cowboy deploys.

Version control discipline

Meaningful commits, sensible branching, PRs that are worth reviewing.

Reliable release

Deployment workflows that don't create drama. Predictable, repeatable, calm.

The web is
capable of more.

Motion that supports the story. 3D that earns its place. I'm interested in depth, dimension, and interaction that feels considered — not decorative.

Let's
talk.

I'm open to the right in-house or hybrid Dev Lead opportunity. If you're building something serious, I'd like to hear about it.
