Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Osborn is a seasoned Senior Software Engineer in Melbourne with 13 years of experience building production-grade web applications, primarily with React, Typescript, Django/DRF and Cloudflare Workers. He leads frontend architecture and developer experience efforts—authoring component libraries, championing TypeScript adoption, and selecting UI frameworks like Chakra-UI—while shipping performance- and accessibility-first solutions for publishers, startups and social enterprises. His work spans headless frontends, edge-side image optimisation and response-rewriting, as well as complex interactive apps (datavis maps, draggable graph editors and conditional multipage surveys). An empathetic communicator and mentor, he focuses on testable requirements (Gherkin, Cypress, jest) and practical developer tooling to raise team standards. Off-hours curiosity shows in jazz piano practice approached with the same iterative, beginner-mind mindset he applies to learning new web tech.
