Bio
Jazza John
Summer in the City would not exist without Tom. It is his passion and drive that has helped the event grow into its forth year (as of 2012). He has fantastic organisational skills and had a great ability to develop an idea beyond its original perimeters. I would happily endorse him further in whatever else he chooses to do and would give more specific references if required.
Liam Dryden
Tom is consistently motivated in the planning and organising of new events or projects, and is never afraid to take charge or seek out what he wants. He has a brilliant eye for business and is an essential component of any team he works with.

Jul 2012 - Dec 2014
I joined Pixeled Eggs in 2012 after graduating university and have since developed my skills in a range of front and back end coding languages through my work on various projects. All of my front end work is completed at a highly competent level, as I make full use of my HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript abilities to code responsive websites either with, or without the use of a responsive framework. Further experience from Pixeled Eggs includes: - Coding CSS with SASS and compiling it through Compass. - Back end development through PHP frameworks, such as CodeIgniter and Laravel. - Testing code to ensure it works across browsers. - Working as part of a team of developers, designers and project managers.

Working with Interactive Team to seed content, aid with maintaining social media profiles and pitch ideas of online campaigns for Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball. I pitched an idea for a 'Chubby Bunny' series of videos with Capital artists (McFly, The Wanted and JLS) to Global, which were produced and edited to go live on the day of the ball.
