Scott Gemmell
Front-end developer building accessible, fast interfaces, and the pattern libraries behind them, for corporate and public-sector Agile teams.
Profile
Front-end contract developer with years of experience delivering web applications for banking and financial-services clients: RBS, NatWest, Ulster Bank, Clydesdale Bank and pension providers Aegon and Nest. I build both the interfaces and the design systems behind them: at Syntel Europe I created a custom UI pattern library for a major corporate banking platform, and at Edrington and Arnold Clark I shipped React applications and reusable component libraries used across Agile teams.
I build accessible, performant interfaces with React, Redux and modern JavaScript, and I'm at home in the regulated, security-conscious environments fintech demands. Currently contracting with Sage and available for new engagements.
