Apr 2015 - Sep 2015
Front-end development of CMS-driven websites, using PSD-based designs. My sites are built using Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS3, Less, JavaScript and jQuery. Back-end site integration - this primarily involves either grafting a new front-end over an existing PHP framework for a site refresh, or full integration with a new build, using PHP and Twig. I have been beginning to learn iOS development using Xcode and Swift, as well as app design fundamentals, using Sketch3 for wireframes and app design. Show less
