Summary
Glade Kettle is a Melbourne-based Front End Engineer with over 10 years of hands-on experience building performant, accessible web interfaces, currently focused on Vue, TypeScript and Composition API patterns. He has driven measurable improvements—like major Core Web Vitals gains and faster feature delivery—by introducing modern tooling, CI pipelines, and better component abstractions across startups and agencies. Comfortable across the full front-end stack, Glade pairs daily Vue/TS development with pragmatic testing (Cypress/Jest) and cloud CI work (Azure DevOps, CircleCI, GCP). His background ranges from freelance builds and WordPress themes to immersive interactive campaigns and product work, giving him a knack for translating design intent into resilient, reusable UI systems. He also brings unexpected breadth from earlier roles in audio production and operations, which inform a creative, user-focused approach to engineering.
