Jack Pritchard
I build interfaces meant to work for everyone. React, Next.js, and TypeScript are my main tools, and accessibility is part of how I build them rather than something bolted on at the end of a sprint. I write about what I learn on my blog and YouTube channel.
10 years of building for the web
My focus is on building products that hold up over time; they are accessible, well-tested, and built on a design system flexible enough to grow instead of being rebuilt every time requirements change.
The stack behind what I build
React and Next.js are the backbone of what I build, and I style it with SCSS Modules to keep things fast, predictable, and easy to theme.
Additionally, I am well-versed in utilising robust technologies such as Typescript, Node.js, GraphQL, and Apollo to build scalable and performant systems.
Testing is also a top priority for me, and I use Jest, Playwright, and Testing Library to ensure that my projects meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
The whole team loved working with Jack. He was so personable and responsive and guided us through the whole process in a way that made us feel involved. Jack was extremely thorough and was happy to spend time listening to all our requests and small details that resulted in the site is exactly how we imagined it. He is equally creative as he is technical and we couldn't recommend him enough to anyone who is looking to get a site that stands out.
YouTube
Early on in my career I knew it was important to document what I was learning, so I started a blog. The next step on from that was to start my own YouTube channel. I did this not only for myself, but to also share my understanding of topics with others looking to develop their skills.
It looks like things took off too! The channel currently stands at 103 Videos, with a total 215189 Views. Heck, you may even be one of the 1090 Subscribers (if you are, thank you).
Starting my own YouTube channel encouraged me to understand a topic deeply as to teach a topic, you must have a strong grasp on the concepts involved. I don't claim to be an expert on every subject I cover, but if I find it of interest, I will cover it and share my experience with others.
