Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Cartlidge is a Senior Frontend Developer based in London with over a decade of experience building accessible, user-focused web interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React and static-site tooling like Hugo. He combines a Computing Science BSc from the University of Edinburgh with hands-on roles across cultural, commercial and public sectors—most recently at the Government Digital Service—bringing practical knowledge of APIs, databases and server architecture to frontend problems. Patrick is known for strong WCAG accessibility expertise and for mentoring and running junior developer learning programmes, helping distributed, multidisciplinary teams deliver inclusive products. Comfortable across Ruby on Rails stacks and modern JS ecosystems, he balances shipping production-grade UI with a systems-minded view that surfaces backend constraints early. A pragmatic programmer at heart (GitHub bio: "programmer!!"), he brings both craft and curiosity to long-lived public-facing projects.
