Rupert Samuel Hu
Front-end Software Engineer
I use front-end technology to design and create beautiful, maintainable and logical web experiences. Based in Western Australia.
Currently, I work with Imagemation on their flagship product ClickHome, a software solution for residential construction management. I love to get technical with frameworks and libraries such as Angular and React. I am more experienced in Angular but I am always eager to keep updated on both technologies. In my day-to-day work, I leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery and explore solutions, while remaining mindful of where human judgement and review are essential. I have maintained and built upon enterprise-level software features in collaboration with stakeholders. I have experience refactoring and creating new implementations from legacy implementations.
I am always actively looking to further develop my knowledge and understanding about web related technologies — with a particular eye on how AI is reshaping the front-end landscape — and remain excited to create intuitive digital products and experiences. I am also deeply interested in the intersection of AI and frontend development through building intelligent, user-facing features powered by large language models.
