Top SchoolPeter Coles is a front-end focused software engineer with 14 years of professional experience and 2+ years specialising in modern React, Next.js and TypeScript stacks, alongside backend work in Node.js (Express) and Python (FastAPI). He led a full rewrite of Yarn’s core product to Next.js, implementing SSR for improved SEO and performance while also driving team delivery as a hands-on project manager.

Based in London, he’s actively seeking full-stack or front-end roles where he can scale interfaces and mentor teams.
