Summary
Colin Mcnamara is a Frontend Engineer with a decade of experience building customer-facing web applications and single-page experiences using JavaScript, React/Redux, HTML/CSS/Sass, PHP and SQL. He transitioned from a quantitative investment-analyst background—holding CFA and CAIA designations in the past—which gives him a strong analytical approach to problem solving and product thinking. Colin has shipped work at both large firms (Citibank, Aberdeen, Qlik) and smaller teams, and now drives frontend development at Penn Interactive. A self-taught developer who enjoys learning new technologies, he pairs hands-on UI development with experience maintaining legacy codebases, API integrations and production infrastructure on AWS. Outside of work he publishes personal projects and prototypes that reflect his curiosity and practical focus on making tools people actually use.
