Hey. I'm Ash

Ashley Thompson

I 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.

The Journey So Far...

Here's a brief overview of my professional and educational journey through the years.

  1. 01工作WORK

    MYER

    ACTIVE
    ROLE
    Frontend Engineer
    PERIOD
    2022 - Current
    LOC
    Melbourne, Australia

    Frontend engineer on one of Australia's largest e-commerce platforms, shipping customer-facing features across legacy and micro-frontend architectures. Led the Minibag pre-checkout experience — $50,000 in additional revenue within 4.5 days of launch — and migrated search recommendations to a headless Dynamic Yield integration, setting the pattern the team now uses for all future DY-driven features.

    Primary Dynamic Yield subject matter expert across teams — built a custom development tool adopted by the wider team, shipped 20+ experiments, and led the integration of retail media advertising (Mirakl), introducing a new revenue stream for the business.

  2. 02學習STUDY

  3. 03工作WORK

    Overwatch: Semi-Pro Player

    ROLE
    Player & Coach (Fluro)
    PERIOD
    2018 - 2020
    LOC
    Home Sweet Home

    Competed and coached semi-professionally in the Australian Overwatch scene under the tag Fluro, including a run at IEM Sydney 2019. Led roster decisions, VOD reviews, and in-game shot-calling. Developed strong communication under pressure, strategic thinking, and the ability to get a group to execute as a unit.

    It's a different kind of engineering problem: real-time systems thinking with human components that don't always follow the spec. The discipline carried forward — structured feedback, fast iteration, and staying composed at 2-2 in a best of 5 series.
