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.
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.
2019
Worked on a high-profile project for a well-known international clothing brand, using React, Netlify, Next.js, AWS lambda, nodeJS and AWS dynamoDB. Working remotely as part of a small, internationally distributed team to deliver a time-critical project with many challenges and tight deadlines.
2018 to 2019
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.
2018
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.
2017 to 2018
Upskilled team into react development and assisted with building a greenfield project:
Upskilling team with limited to no prior knowledge of react through pairing, presentations and walkthroughs.
Built a new application to gather information from customers through a conditional, staged questionnaire with complex dependencies.
Various devops related tasks from scratch, such as docker scripts.
Advising management on various technical decisions vital for the company.
2017 - Tyres on the Drive - JavaScript consultant (12 months)
2016 - The Hut Group - JavaScript developer (12 months)
2015 - Bet365 - JavaScript developer (6 months)
2013 to 2015 - On The Beach ltd. - Front end developer, Permanent
Some of the skills I've picked up along the way and tools I've used.
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.
