Working with Tim on projects was incredibly easy and fun. His positive attitude towards the work and problem solving, and the talent he displayed within his role meant the UX team was always happy to see him as part of the project team.

Michał Saganowski

I had a pleasure to work with Tim on various award winning projects at a time of my employment at Visual Jazz. Tim has a great personality and what is most important - he can produce a top level markup without compromising the design creatives. I wouldn't have a doubt in recommending Tim for any of your front-end development projects.

      I run the frontend code for a product management SaaS application. I manage a team of Frontend Engineers and have designed much of the UX for our application. I have taken our application and modernised our codebase since we started, introducing typescript, react hooks, unit tests, a storybook pattern library to manage a consistent design system and more. I manage a team of frontend developers and oversee much of our sprint planning. Being a startup I have worn many hats over my time at Skyjed and have done much of our UX design, JIRA ticket writing and sprint management. Current stack: React, Typescript, Storybook, React testing library, Jest, Material UI. Show less

      Eikon are a post production company developing a new in-house CMS that grant licenses to cinemas so they can show films. Working with their backend team, I developed the UI and front end for their in-house CMS in a .NET environment. I also set them up with GIT, implemented a style guide, and introduced the back end team to SASS and gulp as a means to theme their projects.

      Working on a website for Unilever, we developed a new website called Cleanipedia (http://www.cleanipedia.co.uk) where people can post questions about cleaning products, and anyone can answer with helpful tips. The site was built with up to date technologies, HTML5, CSS3 jQuery and jQueryUI. It is cross browser compatible (newer technologies degrading gracefully). The CMS built on was DotNetNuke. I also was responsible for autocomplete functions for searching, requiring hand coded javascript with AJAX requests. Show less

I worked with up to date technologies including HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Javascript, jQuery, AJAX and Mustache Templates. I also built their HTML newsletter email templates. When I was working at Fab they were called Llustre, a small starup company, they were bought out by Fab and rebranded as Fab UK within only a few short months of company creation. They are still using the same code and checkout process I created when they were known as Llustre. Show less
