Development Manager & Senior Software Engineer
Donnovan Wint
7+ years building web platforms for high-traffic brands, from B2B agencies to NASCAR. Just as comfortable writing code as coaching the engineers who ship it. Now consulting independently on platform architecture, performance, and delivery.
About me

platforms end to end.
Senior engineer with 7+ years building and maintaining enterprise web platforms across front end, back end and content-management systems, from architecture through production support.
Delivered production work across React, Next.js, Vue, Node, PHP and headless CMS. Recent work includes NASCAR’s fan profile and rewards platform, CMS migrations, authentication systems, mobile content APIs, and an LLM-powered product demo (Alphred) at AlphaSense.
