Summary
J Finn is an experienced front-end and JavaScript engineer based in London with over 11 years building responsive, data-driven web applications for clients ranging from the UK Government and Fidelity to leading media and retail brands. He blends deep proficiency in HTML/CSS3, ECMAScript6, Angular and Backbone with practical server-side skills (Node, Express, Nunjucks, Redis) and Linux/Apache administration, enabling full-stack problem solving rather than being pigeonholed. Notable work includes building a low-latency investor CRM and audit/reporting visualisations for the Department for International Trade and high-coverage TDD JavaScript suites for finance and e-commerce platforms. Equally at home mentoring colleagues and shipping polished UI interactions, he has a track record of devising pragmatic front-end solutions—such as custom grid systems and optimized Backbone patterns—to meet complex business and accessibility constraints. He’s currently on paternity leave and recovering from surgery, but remains engaged with modern front-end practices and rapid prototyping techniques.
