Relevant highlights (before full CV)
Publicis Sapient — Genesis / NX (Sep 2021 – Mar 2022): Manager Interactive Developer. Built and launched Genesis in an NX monorepo — shared starter / boilerplate architecture for Angular, React, and Vue so financial-services teams (including UK bank programmes such as Lloyds) started from common standards instead of forking wildly.
HSBC via Infosys — AngularJS banking UI (Jun 2021 – Sep 2021): Secure AngularJS front ends for investment-banking platforms under policy and data-protection constraints.
Samsung Electronics — Angular internal tools (Mar 2018 – Mar 2020):Angular for internal tooling / platforms at Staines — work stayed internal and was never launched to the public.
Current — hometolive.NET: Director / product delivery in TypeScript and modern JS UI (React/Next.js, Vue) — not additional public Angular client case studies.
