Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Shanks is a versatile frontend engineer and full-stack Node.js developer with 11 years of professional experience and a decade-long track record in performance-driven sales and photography. He blends creative visual sensibility—20 years as a professional photographer and Nikon workflow expert—with modern web and game development skills, including React, Three.js, Unreal Engine Blueprints, and Godot/GDScript. At Gabbi and as a self-employed developer he ships responsive, interaction-focused interfaces and prototypes, drawing on strong SCSS/Tailwind and build-system fluency. Trained at General Assembly with top performance in a React bootcamp, he’s equally comfortable in UX-focused ideation and low-level front-end implementation. An unusual strength is his ability to translate photographic composition and post-production discipline into pixel-perfect UI and 3D web experiences. Based in Cap-Pele, New Brunswick, he combines studio-grade attention to detail with practical product delivery.
