Senior🎓
Top SchoolKit Whittaker is a front-end developer with 13 years’ experience building single-page applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular and React, currently at BaseKit after a long tenure at the BBC. He combines an eye for detail and strong UX focus with a background in server-side web technologies (PHP, ASP.NET, CakePHP, Ruby on Rails) that helps him bridge front- and back-end concerns. At the BBC he modernised intranet search experiences, converted React/GraphQL apps to TypeScript, and maintained SharePoint integrations and C# admin tools, demonstrating practical full-stack problem solving in a large organisation. A self-taught web developer since the late ’90s, he’s quick to learn new tech, mentors other engineers, and prefers established companies over startups or fintech. He holds dual UK/EU citizenship and a BSc in Multimedia Technology and Design, bringing both editorial/product experience from BBC Bitesize and hands-on coding chops to every project.
