Top SchoolDerek Hanciles is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in enterprise-scale Angular modernization, design systems, and micro-frontend architectures. He excels at upgrading legacy front-end platforms—most recently migrating multiple shell repositories and web component libraries to Angular 19 and implementing a unified PrimeNG v19 design system at CSX—to improve build performance and CI/CD reliability. Comfortable leading cross-functional and distributed teams, Derek pairs deep front-end expertise (TypeScript, NGRX, RxJS, GraphQL) with practical DevOps experience to resolve complex dependency and versioning challenges. Now building a freelance practice while partnering with Crux Digital, he is open to short- and long-term contracts or full-time roles where he can drive large-scale UI modernization. Notably, his background includes both hands-on implementation and stakeholder-facing testing sessions that reduced post-release defects and accelerated delivery.
