Summary
I have maintained an ongoing role in the professional web design & development industry over the past 12 years.
I’m a hard working, resourceful person and passionate about interactivity.
I strive to achieve the best results from every project I undertake. Working as a Front End Developer has enabled me to explore these in various ways, amongst them: problem solving, aesthetics and interactivity.
I have been responsible for the development and maintenance of the HTML / PHP / Wordpress templates, as well as implementing new features and functionality to fit in with the objectives and campaigns of the organisations in a fast paced environment.
I have been working in an environment with rigorously goals and tight deadlines and maintaining a very high level quality of work.
I develop high-performance, reliable and maintainable code, whether implementing architectural improvements, features, or fixing bugs. I also have experience in debugging complex code and troubleshooting in multiple environments.
My outlook is fresh and open-minded, traits that are reflected in my work. I look forward to each new challenge, confident in my abilities, but always keen to learn and develop.
I have had the good fortune of applying my skills in design & front-end to a wide variety of high-traffic web applications. I have achieved success by maintaining a healthy balance between user satisfaction and code quality. I am excited by what the future holds for technology and I am glad to take part.
