PERSONAL SUMMARY
Self motivated, ambitious, lateral creative thinker with a hunger to learn. Currently I have 3 years of agency experi-
ence as a dedicated web developer while re-designing websites on the side. I have developed a strong skill set in
HTML5, CSS3, Foundation, Bootstrap, CSS preprocessors, SEO, WordPress development, debugging, Adobe Suite &
UX design. I also have experience in JavaScript, MySQL, PHP & version control systems such as GIT. My last role was
multi disciplinary which involved a high level of multi-tasking in a fast paced environment. Here I developed strong
organizational, communication and project management skills. I value hard work and I apply myself to the best of my
ability to produce organised & optimal code. I also get a wicked kick out of problem solving. Currently I am looking
for an exciting opportunity that will expand my skill set, knowledge and understanding of web technologies.
