Experience

Over the last three years working at a digital agency (Brave), I have rapidly honed my skills as a developer. My experience encompasses the creation and maintenance of websites of all sizes and refining internal development processes. Working in a small team, I am responsible for troubleshooting and problem solving on a day to day basis. I am used to working under pressure and to a tight deadline. Regularly liaising directly with designers, I have an acute understanding of user-centric design principles.

I am committed to industry best practices and producing clean, readable code. I enjoy crafting visually appealing and functionally robust technical solutions. For me, web development extends far beyond just a profession - I'm genuinely passionate about coding and regularly dedicate my free time to learning new technologies and tools.
