  Senior Web Developer - Flamingo Media

  It's a great pleasure to be taking ownership of a network of sites with zero technical debt. I am taking a particular interest in architecting systems related to features such as live previews and authentication as well as developing custom plugin solutions to remove bottlenecks that I encounter.

  Senior Frontend Developer - WIS

  After an initial period of maintaining and developing new features on existing websites with lots of technical debt, I played a pivotal role in guiding the company towards a more modern tech stack. Although we did not transition to using Wordpress as a headless CMS, I led the migration of all content to custom Gutenberg blocks. Since Gutenberg blocks are based on React, my experience in Javascript frameworks enabled me to lead the team towards 2 major re-releases: The Punter's Page and Sportwettenvergleich.

  During my time in this role, I was promoted to Senior Web Developer and also worked on a chrome extension the company aquired which notifies the user about better odds at competing bookmakers when they are placing a bet. It did this by intercepting the network request and parsing the data. There were a lot of moving parts to this project and although it had a lot of promise, the company eventually discontinued work on it.

  Frontend Developer - QM Media

  Initially focused on maintaining a network of Drupal websites, but following my recommendation moved towards a new architecture. Making use of my experience in consuming data from headless CMS's, we transitioned the frontend to Vue.js and Nuxt.js.

  With a custom CMS that uses Firebase and a frontend hosted on Vercel, I found significant improvements on performance and maintainability. As the company then sold their websites I was unable to finish what I started but it was an excellent experience in guiding a small company towards a better system.

  Frontend Developer - Raketech

  Building upon my existing experience in building modern, responsive SPA’s, I developed and maintained Wordpress, Joomla and custom CMS casino affiliate websites. The high volume and fast paced nature of the work exposed me to a wide range of issues and their subsequent solutions. I was able to supplement my Javascript knowledge with PHP skills as required in most legacy CMS frameworks. It has also been enlightening to be exposed to the business requirements of a new company going through a period of rapid growth.

  I was the sole developer in charge of improving and building upon the 150 websites we had for the UK market. I then moved to maintaining a web application which uses Wordpress as a headless CMS, providing data via the Wordpress Rest Api to Nodejs, making use of Vuejs on the frontend, and it's server side rendering framework, Nuxtjs.

  Perhaps the highlight was taking full ownership of developing a new website from scratch. Cryptimi is an affiliate website concerned with cryptocurrency. I delivered the project ahead of time and to a high standard.

  Junior Frontend Developer - PagesJaunes Resto

  Developed new revision of existing food ordering website. Focused primarily on the frontend but took a keen interest in the backend functionality that allowed for syncronised group orders. In hindsight, this was a great role to start my career as I was able to work with lots of tech that would help me in future roles.
