Summary
Caroline Reiss is a Senior Frontend Software Developer with six years’ experience building high-traffic, accessible web applications for Sky across the UK and Germany. She combines deep frontend expertise—React, TypeScript, HTML5/CSS3, performance tuning and WCAG accessibility—with backend skills in PHP (Symfony), Node.js and Python, and production deployments on GCP. Caroline is fluent in both relational and NoSQL databases and experienced in event-driven architectures, REST APIs, CI/CD and automated testing with Jest, Selenium and Playwright. She thrives in Agile teams, partnering closely with UX/UI designers and product managers to translate complex designs into maintainable, user-focused experiences. A former translation specialist with an MA in Applied Translation Studies, she brings unique strengths in multilingual content workflows and NLP-informed problem solving. Unusually for a frontend lead, she also has a background running training programmes and mentoring developers, blending pedagogy with hands-on engineering.
