Hey. I'm Ash
Ashley ThompsonI use my passion and skills to build digital products and tooling on the web. With my formal education in Business Information Systems and experience with retail and experimentation, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of connecting business needs and outcomes with technical solutions.
For the past 3 years, I've been working primarily as a Frontend Engineer in Melbourne, Australia, focusing my efforts on developing my skills within the JavaScript ecosystem, building user interfaces that are both functional and beautiful. The core of my work is in React, but I'm always playing around with new technologies and frameworks.
