Summary
Michael Hodgson is an operations-focused web developer and manager based in Basildon, combining nine years of cross-functional experience in ops, ecommerce and hands-on full-stack engineering. He delivers production-grade React and Node.js solutions with attention to security and performance—evidenced by a cached one-use token authentication middleware published on his GitHub. At Leap Digital he blends strategic oversight of SEO, PPC and client relationships with day-to-day development and site audits, routinely hunting for UX flaws and vulnerabilities like XSS/SQL injection. Comfortable across front-end animation stacks (GSAP, SCSS, Bootstrap) and back-end tooling (Express, MongoDB, SQL), he’s recently expanded his formal training through a bootcamp called The Jump. A pragmatic fast learner and former ecommerce owner, he brings both operational discipline and an instinct for polished, user-friendly interfaces to early-stage or growing engineering teams.
