Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJordan Craigen is a software engineer based in Stockport with a strong foundation in full-stack web development, sharpened by a Northcoders intensive bootcamp and six years of varied technical and client-facing experience. Comfortable across JavaScript, React, Node/Express, GraphQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, he blends front-end design skills (Photoshop, Illustrator, Sass) with back-end API development and TDD practices using Jest. Currently advancing from junior to mid-level work at thirst, he has hands-on experience delivering end-to-end projects—like a Reddit-style news app and a GraphQL-backed restaurant picker—from conception to hosted deployment. His background as a self-employed web designer and senior travel consultant gives him strong UX sensibility, client communication skills and practical ops experience with LAMP/LEMP and deployment tooling. Eager to join a collaborative team, he brings a pragmatic, product-focused mindset and proven ability to learn quickly in agile environments.
