<h1>Hello, I'm Craig Fletcher.</h1>
</header>
<p>You can call me on 07480924132, email me at <a href=
"mailto:hi@leakypixel.net">hi@leakypixel.net</a>, or check out what
I'm getting on with at <a href=
"https://www.leakypixel.net/">leakypixel.net</a>.</p>
<p>I've been developing for the web for around 10 years and I'm
still as eager as ever to push my skills and learn new things. I
specialise in JavaScript - particularly React, but have worked with
many languages, libraries and tools appropriate to the task at
hand.</p>
<h2>Experience</h2>
<p>A short description of my last few roles and what they entailed.
I'd be happy to discuss these further, but for now I'll keep it
brief.</p>
<h3>Erlang Solutions - JavaScript consultant (9 months)</h3>
<p><em>2018 to 2019</em></p>
<p>Worked closely with a worldwide distributed team to develop a
deliveroo-like service for fuel and related product delivery. As
the only JavaScript developer on the team, I built a react and
apollo based web application to interact with an erlang graphql
service that was being developed in tandem by other members of the
team.</p>
<h3>The Co-op Group - JavaScript consultant (6 months)</h3>
<p><em>2018</em></p>
<p>As part of the ventures team, built a new marketplace
application using react for the frontend and python with flask for
the backend. Worked in a team of 2 to get the project off the
ground and into production. This project was more focused toward
user research and constant iteration than technical challenges,
something I really enjoyed.</p>
<h3>Life's Great - JavaScript consultant (6 months)</h3>
<p><em>2017 to 2018</em></p>
<p>Upskilled team into react development and assisted with building
a greenfield project:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upskilling team with limited to no prior knowledge of react
through pairing, presentations and walkthroughs.</li>
<li>Built a new application to gather information from customers
through a conditional, staged questionnaire with complex
dependencies.</li>
<li>Various devops related tasks from scratch, such as docker
scripts.</li>
<li>Advising management on various technical decisions vital for
the company.</li>
</ul>

<h2>I'm not boring</h2>
<p>I have quite a few hobbies outside of my development work, and
try to keep myself as active as I can - especially during the
summer, when I can get outside.</p>
<ul>
<li>Rock climbing and bouldering are my big hobbies... though they
don't look a lot different from the outside, there's quite a gap. I
vary between the two, but practice indoors twice a week and get
outside when I can.</li>
<li>Somehow I ended up being a Scout leader, too. I was part of the
organisation when I was younger, and after a couple of years break,
I went back to help out. It has greatly helped me in maintaining
leadership skills, and organising larger groups of people.</li>
<li>I also spend quite a lot of my free time tinkering and working
on personal projects, such as building raspberry pi based camera
systems, monitors, or arcade systems.</li>
<li>To keep up with the fast-paced world of development, I spend
quite a lot of my free time reading, or listening to podcasts. Some
of my favourites are 99 percent invisible, bad voltage and project
bouldering.</li>
</ul>
