I'm Alan Shortis—a front end developer based in London Nottingham, currently working for Monzo.
I like building scalable, accessible, and performant design systems and websites; the combination of code, design, and empathy for end users is what makes me want to do my best work.
Right now I primarily work on internal tooling that helps keep Monzo secure. Outside of work I like design, photography, music, and cycling, with my enthusiasum far outweighing my ability.
