to the questions I get asked the most.

I’m Paul, and I’m a Senior Front End Developer at Evri, a well-known parcel delivery & courier service in the Uk. I use my keen eye for design and a strong command of Javascript to develop front end experiences, landing pages, apps, emails, and many more. I’ve built many sites that are professional, eye-catching, responsive and easy to navigate. With more than five years in the industry, I’ve gathered enough experience to be a valuable employee and make the web a beautiful place with every line of code.

• I work with the squad to help plan all software development activities and help the team achieve its business outcomes.
• I act as technical lead for all Ul developments and work with architecture to ensure we continue to use modern front end development frameworks and tooling.
• I maintain the 'Evri Digital Image' for all front end developments through the use of a UX asset library.
• I coordinate the implementation of UI releases using our Cl tooling.
• I help to guide and mentor junior team members.
• I play an active role in building out agile ways of working within the team

I have the experience needed for the Senior Front End Developer position and an attitude that helps me solve any problem. I have excellent organisation skills, which I think are crucial to meeting deadlines, and decent soft skills that help me communicate with other colleagues. Finally, I’m very interested in expanding my knowledge and being a part of an excellent team.

My main hobby is programming. I like to read docs, watch tutorials and listen to podcasts like JavaScript Jabber, Js Party, Syntax or Views on Vue. I also love snowboarding and skateboarding, which I have regularly done for 20 years.

That's my can-do attitude, and that I don’t give up easily. I know that every problem can be solved, so if there’s a bug in my code or a challenging situation in the team, I know it’s just a matter of time before finding a way to fix it.

My biggest weakness is my English because I am not a native speaker, but that’s something that I work on every day.

I am planning to keep growing as a developer because, in this industry, there is always something interesting to learn, which I appreciate.

I like both, although I must say that WFH is something that suits me more.

For me, the most important thing is not to let a situation like this happen in the first place. I achieve this by planning my job. For example, before I finish my day, I spend 10 to 15 minutes checking deadlines and preparing checklists with tasks that need to be done the next day. However, when it's already too late for planning, I think that hard work and coffee are fundamental keys to success.

I try to cooperate and find a compromise that will satisfy both sides. At the end of the day, we are all swimming in the same boat.

It is a code consistent with standards that the entire team agreed on. It follows good coding practices and is safe, secure, reliable and easy to maintain.

It is Spotify. The UI is super simple but very effective; you can quickly find what you want. It has been my go-to app for many years.

In 2021-2022 I took part in rebranding one of the biggest parcel delivery & courier services in the Uk. I worked in a team responsible for creating a new Component Library that was later used across the entire company. Also, our team took a significant part in the reskinning process of the company’s website. All that under massive pressure from the upcoming short deadline.

My most outstanding achievement hasn’t come yet, but I must say that I’m proud that I moved to a different country and managed to make a decent life here. Now I know that I can do and learn whatever it takes to achieve my goals.

It's that I didn't start learning about the programme earlier. Well, you know, I knew about it. I knew that it might be exciting and that I might like it. But I didn't give it a try. I know that I would be a much better developer right now.

It was pretty recently, and it wasn't about coding. I asked my Leader to let me design wireframe and later a mockup of a mobile app for one of our clients. And The client loved it. He was pleased with what I did, so now I'm preparing everything to start developing that app.

Outside the work, it's my family and friends. Inside, it's progression, learning and keeping on top of the new tech, and expanding my Javascript knowledge (I even started learning React in my free time).

Nope. Vue.js is my framework of choice, and I am pleased about that.

They are all just tools used for the same stuff at the end of the day. Although, I must say that I am a huge Mac Os fan and cannot see myself working on a different system.
