What people say
Giles is one of the best front-end engineers I had the pleasure to work with at Fuzzy Logic Labs and Mixo. His in-depth knowledge of front-end development - in particular CSS and JS frameworks - made him an absolute asset to the team. Giles is the type of person I could always count on and delivers his work with the highest quality. He has made great contributions to the company with valuable insights in both technology and business decisions.
Giles's work on the CommBank website redesign was first class. He has the uncommon ability to combine tremendous technical acumen, creative thinking and strong communication to deliver great results. As part of a large project team Giles played a key front end development role, working closely with designers, developers and business stakeholders to manage fluid requirements and cope with the intensity and long hours of a large project implementation. I'd recommend Giles without hesitation.
Giles was the technical front-end leader when I first joined the CBA project. He naturally serves as an inspiring mentor for the whole team. We had a lot to catch up with but he made it possible. Giles is an out-of-the-box thinker as well as a results-oriented problem solver. He is technically savvy and likes to keep on top of the latest trends and technologies in the field. He is a true asset to any organisation.
Giles is an excellent designer with a great eye for detail. He works very efficiently with a passion for the web. Giles helped transform the design of CreditorWatch into a modern and professional layout, significantly increasing sales.
Giles is an extremely talented developer who stays up to date with the bleeding edge of the industry and stands out due to his focus and discipline. He is very knowledgeable and a natural innovator that will find the most optimal way to tackle a problem with his constantly evolving toolkit. Not afraid of large-scale projects, his personality and natural leadership qualities will certainly make him a driving force in any team he joins.
I had the pleasure to work with Giles on Mixvisor's growth strategy. He's an entrepreneur who knows how to move fast to build a promising product with a good vision. I'd love to work with him again!
let's talk
I'm most energized by staff product engineering roles where I can move from shaping the problem to shipping the product - with frontend depth, full-stack fluency, and a designer's eye for the details.
