Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Tan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Auckland with 11 years' experience specializing in front-end web development using TypeScript, React, and Node. He has a strong track record delivering production systems from scratch—such as Air New Zealand’s Star Alliance redemption and in-flight WiFi portals—and modernizing legacy codebases by migrating to Vite and converting projects to TypeScript. At CentricMinds he built a Storybook-driven design system, integrated real-time chat over STOMP/WebSocket, and restructured Electron apps into monorepos, demonstrating attention to developer ergonomics and scalable component architecture. Jack pairs hands-on UI work with backend and infrastructure skills, adding CI/CD, Bitbucket pipelines, serverless services, and automated testing to improve delivery. He is comfortable collaborating with designers, automated testers and backend teams, and has repeatedly met hard deadlines while improving performance and maintainability. A subtle strength is his knack for incremental modernization—introducing tooling and design systems that lift whole teams rather than just individual features.
