About

My name is Olivia. I'm a front-end developer in Paris with 5+ years of experience working on both B2B and B2C products.

Work

1. Since June 2023, I have been working as a senior front-end developer at Welcome to the Jungle.
2. From October 2018 to December 2022, I was working as a front-end developer at Meilleurs Agents, building features for a web application used by thousands of real estate agencies.

Some side projects

• The website for my father's incredible bookshop. Website built using Wordpress and a custom theme that I created from scratch using PHP, HTML, and a little bit of JavaScript.
• A small CLI tool (previously a bash script) to generate a prettier config file. It was a great little project to explore embedded templates in Go :)
• My constantly evolving neovim config.

My tech stack

• React and other libraries in its ecosystem (e.g. TanStack Query, Redux and Redux Toolkit)
• Typescript
• Jest, Vitest, React Testing Library and Cypress for testing
• CSS, SASS and CSS-in-JS solutions like Emotion and Styled Components

Learning, always

I'm a self-taught developer. What I love about being a developer is learning something new every day (even a tiny detail). In 2016, I wrote my first few lines of HTML, which was the start of an incredible journey.

Things I currently love learning about:

• Web accessibility (semantic HTML, adopting an accessibility-first approach, understanding the WCAG)
• Type systems (exploring this topic with Typescript)
• Go(lang) along with some SQL
