Summary
Chris Liddell is a front-end-focused software engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building accessible, usable web applications for NGOs, charities, and research organisations. Currently at Wellcome Trust, he brings deep practical knowledge of modern front-end stacks (Node, Sass, ES6/Babel) and a strong emphasis on usability and maintainable code. His career progressed from freelance projects and internships to senior front-end roles, where he took on responsibilities beyond coding—maintaining tooling, running usability tests, and liaising directly with clients and product owners. Comfortable working in agile teams, he blends design sensibility with engineering rigor to turn complex requirements into polished user experiences. An early background in digital design and content (blogging and UX testing) means he often bridges the gap between design, accessibility, and implementation.
