Valtech
Front-End Developer
2017 – 2019
Role & Context
At Valtech, I worked as a front-end developer on digital projects for a portfolio of some of the world's most prestigious luxury maisons — Jaeger-LeCoultre, Hermès, and Van Cleef & Arpels. This was the formative period of my luxury digital specialization: learning to operate at the intersection of exacting brand standards, demanding visual quality, and the technical rigour required to deliver at the level these clients expect.
Working across multiple brands within a major digital agency meant rapid context-switching, exposure to varied project types, and the discipline to absorb brand-specific constraints quickly and translate them into implementation decisions.
Key Achievements
Luxury Brand Digital Delivery Delivered front-end solutions across distinct luxury maisons, each with its own identity, design language, and technical requirements. Jaeger-LeCoultre required precision in representing horological heritage digitally; Hermès demanded restraint and craft in every UI interaction; Van Cleef & Arpels brought the complexity of jewellery storytelling to the web. Each project sharpened the ability to serve a brand's vision technically without compromise.
Adobe AEM Integration Built front-end solutions integrated within Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), the CMS of choice for several major luxury clients. Developing within AEM's authoring model required understanding both the technical constraints of the platform and the editorial workflows of brand marketing teams — producing templates and components that were as usable for content editors as they were visually faithful to brand guidelines.
Vue.js Adoption in Luxury Context Applied Vue.js within luxury brand projects at a time when component-based front-end architecture was still being adopted in the agency space. Early, consistent use of Vue.js across projects built the foundation for the lead developer and architectural roles that followed.
