Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolTheo Wright is a Frontend Engineer based in Glasgow with eight years of professional experience and six years focused on frontend work, currently building user-facing systems at Legado. He has a track record of performance-first engineering—rewriting core features with interval search trees and virtualization to cut load times from 10s to 700ms and reduce complexity from O(n^2) to O(n log n. He’s driven client-side architecture improvements like React Query caching, WebWorker lazy loading, code-splitting and Webpack chunking that materially improved FCP and Lighthouse scores. Comfortable across testing and maintainability, he introduced Playwright integration tests and reusable form and drag-and-drop components to boost developer confidence and product extensibility. A CodeClan alum who keeps sharpening fundamentals, Theo pairs pragmatic engineering with a knack for self-directed, measurable optimizations that preserve customers and revenue.
