Summary
Anika Henke is a senior web developer with two decades of experience and a 14+ year focus on front-end engineering, specialising in semantic, cross-browser and accessible HTML/CSS and maintainable modular code. She has driven front-end unification and living style guide initiatives at companies like Zopa, pairing hands-on implementation (HTML, CSS/SASS, JavaScript) with back-end integration in Ruby and .NET. Comfortable as the lone front-end voice or as a mentor and line manager, she thrives in Agile teams collaborating tightly with designers to translate designs directly into production-ready code. Her work consistently prioritises WCAG accessibility and responsive, mobile-first design while reducing duplication and improving team workflow. Unusually for a front-end specialist, she also regularly contributes on the back-end stack and champions company-wide knowledge sharing and practical workshops. Based in Folkestone, UK, she seeks teams that value craftsmanship and doing things “the right way.”
