Hi, I'm Laurie Griffiths. I'm a senior full stack engineer with over 10 years of experience. I am based in Fukuoka, Japan with permission to work in Japan or the UK. I'm a native English speaker and I speak Japanese.

I have experience with a variety of modern and older web stacks. Recently I have enjoyed using SvelteKit to produce performant, accessible websites with great developer experience. I also am a proponent of automated testing and have implemented CI/CD in multiple legacy codebases to allow large-scale refactors and updates without fear.

Also, I produced the game engine and IDE that runs the History Mysteries series of escape room board games: https://historymysteries.club/

I am currently contracting and looking for new opportunities, either full-time or contract.
