Mikey Holland

I'm a London based Senior Frontend Engineer with 14 years of experience across startups, agencies, and scale-ups. I've worked on everything from growth-phase product teams to large collaborative distributed team projects. I specialise in React and the modern JavaScript ecosystem, and I care deeply about writing simple, maintainable code that the next person can pick up and understand.

I bring more than technical skill to a team. I think carefully about trade-offs, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and believe that good engineering is fundamentally a communication job. The code is the output. The thinking and collaboration is the actual work.

I'm at my best working closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers. I've contributed to large collaborative codebases, participated in agile ceremonies, and led frontend architecture decisions. I care about process, code review, and building things that are easy to maintain and extend.

I'm also comfortable owning problems end to end. I've designed and built full products solo, made architecture calls without a safety net, and worn hats across backend, UX, and project management when the work demanded it. I know when to bring others in and when to back my own judgment.
