I work as lead frontend engineer for the Winnow Foresight project, a greenfield Vue.js web-app product which helps commercial chefs reduce their food wastage. Foresight uses photo uploads of food wastage with AI to produce accurate daily food production forecasts. Used around the world by hotel chains Hilton, Marriott, Iberostar and also in IKEA stores. Tech: Vue.js, TypeScript, websockets, RudderStack, Sentry.

I also architected the new Winnow Vision food waste recording software using React Native which runs on in-house hardware in over 2,500 kitchens including every IKEA store kitchen.

In both projects I help to manage performance, localisation, scalability and usability concerns.
