Hello, I’m Oliver Cox.
A Senior Frontend Developer at Nzime in Nottingham, UK, building bespoke, performant and accessible solutions.
Built with Next.js, TypeScript and TailwindCSS, content managed via Sanity.io. Code health monitored by deepsource.
About
Specialising in frontend technologies and technical SEO, my focus lies in product health and performance. A strong advocate for process and iterative thinking, I contribute to internal systems and spearhead the frontend boilerplate, now utilised across all greenfield projects.
Currently, my main focus is continuing to expand my knowledge whilst staying up-to-date with the latest industry standards. Aswell as contributing to client work and improving internal processes. In my free time I’m working on a variety of side projects that interest me, one with the goal of shipping a marketable solution that will provide affordable and value-based solutions for small businesses and individuals.
Outside of development I live with my partner Amy and our Dachshund Rolo, he is usually curled up asleep next to me most days while I work. I enjoy video games, with Xbox Game Pass currently keeping me busy. Collecting watches has become a new obsession, my daily wear a Hamilton Khaki Field or a sporty Seiko.
Experience
Opportunities influencing internal processes, taking ownership and leading the creation of our frontend boilerplate and tooling used on all new builds and given greater responsibility of project stages.
Working as part of a small team has provided great opportunities to work across all aspects of the stack on various projects, seeing something through from inception to delivery.
First role pivoting away from design my initial first few months focused on personal development and tooling research, then supporting the development lead on client & in-house projects.
After completing my degree in Graphic Design I worked across various disciplines in multiple roles, applying everything from branding and print before specialising in digital design.
Projects
