Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Golightly is a Senior Fullstack JavaScript Developer with over a decade of hands-on experience building Node.js and React ecosystems, and more than 20 years in IT overall. He designs and ships web and native apps, automations and dashboards—often glueing third-party APIs and services together—to simplify workflows and scale operations, most notably a Slack-driven project management system for a Shopify-focused team. As CEO/CTO of his own agency he combines full product delivery (React, React Native, Firebase, VPS, WordPress/Squarespace) with infrastructure and security work, enabling remote, global clients while living a nomadic lifestyle. Trained in counselling and life coaching, he brings an unusually user-centric, empathetic approach to UX and problem solving. Practical, automation-first mindset plus a strong academic foundation in AI and computer science make him equally comfortable in frontend polish and backend systems design.
