TypeScript Strict Mode Errors After Refactoring
After enabling or upgrading TypeScript strict mode, Cursor's refactored code now has many type errors. The strict rules catch null/undefined issues and type mismatches that were previously ignored.
Code needs proper typing to satisfy strict mode requirements.
Error Messages You Might See
Object is possibly 'null'
Type 'any' is not assignable
Property does not exist on type
Argument of type 'unknown' not assignable
Common Causes
- Variables not initialized, inferred as 'any' type
- Null/undefined not handled, accessing properties on potentially null values
- Function return type not specified
- Parameters not typed, defaulting to 'any'
- Using 'any' type to bypass checks
How to Fix It
Add types: const value: string = 'hello'. Function returns: function getName(): string { }. Handle null: value?.property || default. Use NonNullAssert if sure: value!. Enable strict in tsconfig: "strict": true.

I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What does !mean in TypeScript?
Non-null assertion operator. Tells compiler you know value isn't null. Use sparingly - usually fix the root cause.
How do I fix 'possibly null' errors?
Add null check: if (value) { ... }. Or optional chaining: value?.property. Or default: value || defaultValue.
