👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Phipps is a pragmatic senior front-end engineer based in London with over a decade of experience building everything from custom HTML email templates to modern React-based donation platforms. At Comic Relief he progressed from junior to senior, taking line management and front-end lead responsibilities while helping migrate and integrate Drupal/Symfony tooling into the stack. He’s comfortable across the front-end toolchain—Twig, Composer, Grunt, NPM/Yarn—and contributes to a reusable Pattern Lab package used organization-wide. Andy is also an accessibility advocate, helping establish an in-house AA Team to bake accessibility into design and development processes. With a Creative Computing BSc from Goldsmiths and earlier experience in media and freelance audio work, he brings a creative, user-focused perspective to technical problems. Colleagues know him for a pragmatic, slightly wisecracking approach that keeps teams productive and grounded.
