Frontend Developer
Michael McCann
I am a Senior Frontend Developer with over 18 years of experience turning designs into high-performance web applications. Specialising in Vue.js, Laravel, and WordPress, I build clean, scalable code that bridges the gap between design and development to drive user engagement.
About
My development career spans over 15 years, starting in freelance development before moving into enterprise roles. At FinancialForce (Certinia), I managed platform security, engineered new features, and successfully led a major website migration to WordPress. This early phase built my core expertise in creating secure, scalable web infrastructure.
I specialise in building responsive, user-friendly interfaces that measurably improve engagement and retention rates. Through roles at My Possible Self and Inhealthcare, I collaborated closely with designers and backend teams to develop web applications using Vue.js and Laravel, alongside managing diverse corporate site portfolios.
Most recently at Bluestone98, I developed and maintained high-performance web applications across multiple industries. Translating Figma and XD designs into clean, maintainable code, I utilise Vue.js, PHP, and modern workflows to deliver premium digital solutions that drive client success.
