Kyle Dearle
Senior Frontend Engineer at i3D.net — A Ubisoft Company
I'm a senior frontend engineer at i3D.net, where I own the customer-facing and internal web applications end-to-end, from architecture and planning through deployment and production support. I lead the frontend technical decisions on our Self-Service portals and websites, review code, and mentor other engineers on the team. I work closely with backend engineers, product managers, and designers to shape what we build, not just how it's built.
Before i3D.net, I ran Master & Mouse, delivering custom applications, ecommerce platforms, and corporate websites for a curated set of clients. 14 years in, that background shapes how I work today: I treat what I ship as something I own past the moment of release.
I'm at my best when I can move between architecture, hands-on implementation, and the cross-functional decisions that shape both. I look for problems where engineering judgment matters as much as engineering output.
How I Work
End-to-end ownership
I'm the named owner on the apps I work on: feature scoping, implementation, deployment, and what happens in production after that.
Frontend as engineering
Architecture, performance, accessibility, and tests are part of the work, not polish at the end.
Cross-functional reach
I partner with backend, product, and design to scope features and push back on the spec when it needs it.
Quality as a team output
Code review, mentoring, and tooling are how I scale my work past myself.
Day-to-day: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind, Playwright. Comfortable with PHP, REST APIs, and CI/CD.
