Margarita Vlachou.
I build frontends that feel honest.

theidol.com powers travel and motor insurance comparison journeys for partners including Confused.com and GoCompare. I joined as the frontend engineer responsible for the consumer-facing quote flow and the shared component library that backs every partner skin.

• —Led the WCAG 2.1 AA remediation programme — rewrote form semantics, focus management, and screen-reader announcements across the quote funnel.
• —Designed a Tailwind + Vue component library consumed by multiple partner sites, replacing duplicated per-brand markup with themeable tokens.
• —Cut LCP and INP on the funnel's heaviest steps through route-level code-splitting, image strategy, and trimming third-party JS.
• —Partnered with Go backend engineers to tighten API contracts and remove a class of runtime null-handling bugs from the UI.

• Vue.js
• Tailwind CSS
• Go REST APIs
• Storybook

Fuuse builds SaaS for operators of public and workplace EV charging networks. The operator dashboard had grown organically alongside the hardware fleet and needed a calmer, more consistent UI before the next wave of customer onboarding.

• —Rebuilt the charger management views in Vue 3 + Tailwind, replacing one-off SCSS with a documented Storybook design system.
• —Introduced Jest + Vue Test Utils coverage on the critical tariff and session-pricing flows where mistakes cost real money.
• —Collaborated directly with operations users to redesign the alerting and live-session screens — measurably faster triage of broken chargers.
• —Set up Vuex modules and typed API clients so new charger features could ship without touching shared state.

A greenfield consumer product for a UK retail client, replacing a legacy stack. The brief was a fast, SEO-strong storefront with rich search and a component library the in-house team could own after handover.

• —Built the App Router architecture, GraphQL data layer, and Algolia-powered search/filtering UI from scratch.
• —Authored the React component library in Storybook with accessibility and visual regression baked into CI.
• —Set up the Azure deployment pipeline with preview environments per PR so design and QA could review without local setup.
• —Documented patterns and handover docs so the client's internal team could extend the system independently.

TotalMobile's field-service SaaS runs on a long-lived Ext JS codebase used daily by utility and healthcare workforces. The goal was to introduce modern Vue surfaces inside the legacy shell without a risky big-bang rewrite.

• —Embedded Vue.js islands inside Ext JS containers, sharing auth and routing without breaking existing workflows.
• —Standardised styling on Tailwind so new screens stopped inheriting legacy CSS specificity wars.
• —Shipped accessibility and keyboard-navigation improvements to high-traffic scheduling screens used by dispatchers all day.
