As a Tech Lead, my role is to ensure that the team follows the best possible conventions, uses up-to-date technologies and reduces technical debt. I act as a buffer between engineers and product/business, manage backlog, help each member of the team to learn and perform the best they can and help the engineering manager in any matter that concerns the team from a technical point of view.

Breaking down features, investigating new feature requests, manage the backlog, creating technical team meetings and participating in product/business related discussions are part of daily tasks.

VueJs | NodeJs | JavaScript | Vuex | Jest | Cypress

• - Rewriting a Backbone application into VueJs
• - Created a Chrome extension (Hackathon)
• - Organising Global Groupon engineering events
• - Tech Talks / Frontend Advocate 🥑
• - Frontend interviewer
• - Mentoring fellow Frontend developers

My overall role is to raise Frontend standards as much as possible by training colleagues and making sure that our projects are following best practices and are up to date with Frontend's trends and ecosystem. Some examples of this: Introducing Vuex as a state management tool, teaching Flux pattern to colleagues, organising trips to Frontend conferences with colleagues, having training sessions about Frontend.

While interviewing, I try to make the process more Frontend friendly by walking away from traditional "Software Engineer Interviews" and by embracing a more realistic and up-to-date approach.
