Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Whittaker is a London-based front-end leader with 15 years of experience specialising in React and modern web technologies, currently directing VGML Ltd. He has progressed from hands-on front-end roles to lead developer positions at companies like Geckoboard, where he bridged product and engineering to ship polished, data-driven UIs. Known for building strong teams and mentoring engineers, Carl combines pragmatic engineering with a taste for experimentation—his GitHub reflects a focus on learning and prototyping rather than polished open-source packages. Comfortable across the full front-end stack, he excels at turning complex requirements into maintainable, user-focused interfaces.
