Summary
👤
SeniorHamish Taplin is a senior software engineer based in Cardiff with 11 years’ experience specialising in React and product-focused front-end development. He combines a strong UI/design sensibility with full-stack chops, having rebuilt frontends, established design systems, and shipped accessible, test-driven applications across startups and public sector projects. Comfortable owning architecture and tech choices, he repeatedly balances short-term delivery with long-term scalability—evident in greenfield builds and design-system integrations at organisations like ONS, Moneyhub and Entia. A pragmatic TDD/BDD advocate, he routinely implements Jest, Testing Library, Cypress and CI practices to keep quality high. Colleagues rely on him for technical leadership that spans feature work, onboarding and consolidating codebases. He’s equally at home sketching interfaces in Figma and shipping them in TypeScript/Next.js, which helps him bridge product, design and engineering effectively.
