Frontend Engineer | matine.co.uk | matine.chabrier@gmail.com
A creative frontend engineer with over a decade of commercial experience.
I bring a design-oriented perspective that fosters seamless collaboration with design and UX teams, resulting in polished, user-centric experiences.
My portfolio encompasses a diverse range of projects, from eye-catching marketing sites to complex, data-driven applications.
In my work, I am committed to efficiently delivering features while consistently prioritising code quality, scalability, and above all, placing the user experience at the forefront.
Working within the digital campaigns team for the 2019 general election to build various micro sites and tools to help clarify Labour policies to the public.
Built a new internal tool to reduce manual processes in place to test the trading market. Tech stack included: React with TypeScript, React Context/Hooks, Styled Components with Styled System, and some use of Web Sockets.
Working in the Ford team to help build various apps to assist 4 activations at a Go Electric event in Frankfurt. A registration web-app used to register users and scan QR codes, an iPad app that scans the QR codes at the activations and associate the users with the souvenirs, and a third app to retrieve the user image from an activation involving greenscreen and depth scanning of faces. Tech stack included React and Socket.io to connect all apps for live updates.
A completely new build for the company website - the brief being to "be like the AirBnb for borrowing boats worldwide". I designed and built a React/Redux web app with the API built in parallel using Django Rest Framework.
As a Frontend Developer I used JavaScript/jQuery, CSS/SASS with SMACSS methodology - working alongside DotNet/Umbraco or Ruby on Rails developers to produce complex, interactive and database driven sites or applications. For the backend of smaller content managed websites I created WordPress templates, and for static builds I used Handlebars and compiler tools to streamline my workflow.
Clients included: BMW Mini, Samsung, Dominos, Adidas, Nectar, Shell, Value Retail.

When I'm not building software, I enjoy using my hands.. from DIY, furniture making and eco building to a spot of life drawing, painting.
Dancing is another thing I can't get enough of. Right now Contemporary Ballet and Latin Hustle are my favourites.
