Honest Fit Assessment
Paste a job description. Get an honest assessment of whether I'm the right person—including when I'm not.
Frontend Developer — Ecommerce Startup
We're looking for someone with deep ecommerce experience, comfort with modern frontend frameworks like React and Next.js, and the ability to lead product initiatives. You'll own our customer-facing storefront and help drive growth through technical improvements...
Strong Fit — Let's Talk
Your requirements align well with my experience. Here's the specific evidence:
WHERE I MATCH
Deep ecommerce expertise
Built and scaled Royal Essence to $38M AUD in lifetime sales with 425,000+ orders. I understand the full ecommerce stack from customer acquisition to fulfillment.
React & Next.js proficiency
Built idol.ph from scratch using Next.js, React, Drizzle, and Better Auth. Comfortable with full-stack patterns, server components, and Vercel deployment.
Product-led thinking
8+ years running my own businesses means I think beyond code. I understand how technical decisions impact conversion, retention, and growth.
GAPS TO NOTE
DevOps & Infrastructure
My focus has been application development. I can deploy to Vercel but haven't managed complex CI/CD pipelines or cloud infrastructure.
MY RECOMMENDATION
I'd be excited to discuss this role. My ecommerce background combined with modern frontend skills makes this a strong match. I can bring both technical execution and business context to your storefront.
