Skills

Development

I hold a degree in Computer Science and have over 10 years of professional experience as a full-stack developer. Throughout my career, I've worked with a variety of languages and frameworks, constantly expanding my skill set.

Communication & Collaboration

I have strong written and verbal communication skills and excel at working with both technical and non-technical teams to ensure smooth collaboration.

Specification

Creating clear specification documents is a crucial part of my development process. Before starting any project or feature, I break down tasks, research requirements, and outline the implementation plan to avoid misunderstandings and ensure efficiency.

Documentation

Good documentation can be a lifesaver. Whether it's a comprehensive guide, a simple markdown file, or well-placed comments above complex functions, I make it a priority to leave behind clear documentation to help future developers navigate the codebase with ease.

Time Management & Estimation

Accurate time estimation is key to maintaining productivity. I focus on realistic planning, often tied to thorough specification documents, to ensure projects stay on track and deadlines are met.

Design

While design isn't my strongest area, years of working alongside designers and implementing pixel-perfect interfaces have helped me develop an eye for effective web design. I'm continually learning and improving in this space.

Current Project

Game Aggregate

This project is a progressive web app built using React and Redux that allows users to:

  • View upcoming and recently released games.
  • Search for and view details about games, publishers, developers, franchises.

This was all done through the use of the Giantbomb API and its auth process.
