Summary
Neil Symester is a senior front-end engineer with 11 years’ experience building and optimising web applications across financial services, insurance, exhibitions and public sector organisations. He specialises in modern web stacks, performance tuning and cross-browser testing, with a track record of cutting page load times significantly and delivering componentised builds in agile sprints. At Towergate and other roles he combined JavaScript, SASS and build tooling (Gulp, NPM scripts) to both create interactive experiences and boost conversion-focused performance. Currently contributing senior front-end expertise at JN Bank and Reed Exhibitions, he thrives on discovery-led problem solving in collaborative teams. Unusually for a developer focused on code and performance, he also has formal theological study, reflecting a breadth of interests that inform his communication and mentorship style.
