• Senior Application Developer

  • Dec 2019 - Jan 2021

  Wecudos is a small Healthcare Startup. As a team of two developers we rework a large codebase, greatly increasing performance, reducing application size and improving code quality. After cleaning up the codebase we started working on new features with my focus on analytics, calculating trends in data using ruby on rails and rendering them in Highcharts. I'm currently working on a prototype for a rebuild of the site in NextJS with TypeScript and TailwindCSS. Wecudos is a small Healthcare Startup.

• React Developer

  • Jan 2017 - Sep 2019

  I worked for Lloyds Banking Group for the two and a half years on multiple projects primarily as a React Developer. I developed the front end of our most recent project, a 3 page messenger style web app, deciding on approach, app structure and design. Once the MVP was complete we moved onto industrialisation which involved more DevOps and pipeline / CI work. More recently I've set up linux machines by writing Chef recipes, Jenkins groovy and shell scripts.

• Front End Developer

  • May 2013 - Oct 2014

  I worked on a major rebuild of the Which? homepage (www.which.co.uk) and other projects, creating responsive sites to work for mobile, tablet and desktop. We used SASS and Git; we built shell scripts for repetitive tasks and used bower for an organised and maintainable front end. CSS3, JQuery and JavaScript were used for functionality and animation. Later I built a Capybara diff automation tool to compare containers in Google Tag Manager. In the last couple of months I've built an editorial tools repository from scratch with custom gulp tasks, widget capability with post message, bower configuration with shared JS and CSS components. I've built three tools as JS applications (also with D3 and SVG) leveraging Which APIs.
