About

Hi, I'm Shermayne

I'm a software engineer who cares deeply about clarity, good design, and the people who use what I build. I'm happiest when I can take something complex and turn it into an experience that feels simple, modern, and effortless.

What I do

I'm a full-stack engineer with deep experience across frontend, backend, and DevOps workflows. I care about crafting thoughtful user experiences, designing clean architecture, and building reliable systems that scale. Whether it's React and TypeScript in the UI or APIs and services behind the scenes, I enjoy owning features end to end.

  • Building scalable, maintainable UI components that support long-term product growth
  • Delivering modern, high-quality user experiences that align with product goals
  • Driving engineering quality through standards, documentation and thoughtful reviews
  • Partnering with product, design, and backend engineering to deliver end-to-end solutions

How I work

I work in a calm, focused way, breaking down complex problems, communicating clearly, and delivering high-quality work across UX and engineering. I value teams that move with intention, make informed decisions, and optimise for impact, clarity, and long-term maintainability.

Experience

Over the years, I've worked on a wide range of projects, from complex full-stack features and UI systems to backend services and DevOps tooling. I've contributed to architecture decisions, built scalable components, collaborated with product and design, and helped teams improve quality, clarity, and delivery speed. I enjoy solving problems end-to-end and shaping clean, thoughtful experiences for both users and developers.

Beyond code

Outside of work, I'm a mum who loves creating a balanced, meaningful life. I enjoy planning and simplifying everyday routines, but I'm also the kind of person who gets excited about good coffee, trying new recipes, exploring new places with my kids, and capturing memories with my camera. I'm always looking for small ways to make life a little calmer, a little more intentional, and a lot more joyful.
