Etra Ventures (opens in a new tab)

Full-Stack Engineer
Birmingham, United Kingdom (Remote)

I owned the front end of SuperViral, led Foodie from the first commit, and built the front end of Almo.

  • Owned the front end of SuperViral, a high-traffic social-commerce product with tens of thousands of monthly users and a significant source of company revenue.
  • Built front-end split-test variants for the SuperViral checkout pages.
  • Led Foodie as lead developer, owning the product end to end; built it from the ground up with Next.js 16, TypeScript, Supabase (auth, row-level security, migrations), and Amplitude instrumentation.
  • Engineered Foodie's backend worker: a Fastify service on AWS ECS, provisioned with Terraform, handling four workloads: video extraction, embeddings, quality checks, and Places sync.
  • Integrated deliverables from two freelance specialists into Foodie: the feed's recommendation algorithm from a data scientist, and a Python video pipeline for logo and text removal and embeddings from a Python developer.
  • Built the complete front end of Almo, a 4-7-8 breathing and journaling web app, in React, TypeScript, and Vite against an existing backend API: breathing animation and audio kept in sync, an interactive first-run tutorial, thoughts saved on the device and synced to the account on sign-in, auth flows, and an internal analytics dashboard.
