Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaire Wilgar is a Staff Frontend Developer with 11 years' experience building large Angular and React single-page applications using HTML5, SCSS and modern frontend tooling. She is an accessibility advocate who embeds WCAG standards into designs and champions inclusive practices across dev and design teams, and has presented on accessibility at meetups and conferences in Belfast. Claire combines hands-on coding with community leadership, having organised Global Game Jam events, managed Farset Labs’ community, and volunteered as a conference photographer for QCon for five years. Her career spans product and large-organization contexts—from the BBC and Bazaarvoice to her current role at ESO—delivering polished, maintainable frontends at scale. Outside of work she runs local tech events, speaks about women in tech, and balances her technical life with gaming, nail art and learning to drive. Notably, she often pairs technical mentorship with public advocacy, making accessibility a practical, shared responsibility rather than a checkbox.
