Hi there, I'm Alex Bristow.
I'm a front end engineer based in London. I'm currently designing and developing tools and experiences to improve the way we work at NBCUniversal & Sky.
I'm Alex, and I love building things that help people.
I'm a front end engineer who enjoys making products that feel clear, fast, and enjoyable to use.
For over 7 years I've been creating digital experiences at NBCUniversal, Sky and Ocado, building tools used by millions of people every day.
I like being involved in the whole process, from the first sketch of an idea through to something real in people's hands, making sure it looks right, feels right, and works reliably.

- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Express

- Redux
- Tailwind CSS
- Shadcn/ui
- Material UI
- Styled Components

A lot of the work I do professionally is confidential, but I'm usually tinkering with something in my spare time.
