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.
I primarily work with TypeScript and Angular. I naturally gravitate towards solutions that are elegant and maintainable. Ensuring type correctness, consistent styling guidelines and static analysis are all parts of my bread and butter. I’m never the one to turn my head away when picking up new things as I’m the curious type of person to get invested in how technology works.
I’ve steered many projects from start to end and have developed the scar tissue of owning the consequences of technical and business decisions. Being in that world gives you the opportunity to learn, and without it, growing becomes fractional. It keeps me humble and on my toes and I’m glad I can continually work and own the outcomes of projects.
Before my time at ClickHome, I was a volunteer frontend developer and completed my master’s with research into transformer networks. I am ambitious to expand my skillset and keen to continue learning about business and technology.
If you’re interested in working with me, please feel free to reach out through the button below, I would love to hear from you!
