Experience

Over the course of my decade-long career, I have worked for various types of companies, gaining experience in a wide range of projects, including big SAAS initiatives, educational software, giant webshops, and agency work for large commercial clients. As a Front-end developer, I take pride in my deep knowledge of specific browser issues, and I do not rely on front-end frameworks or templates. I have worked with many different CMSs, from custom-built management systems to popular platforms like WordPress and Umbraco.

In addition, my experience with PHP and SQL databases has given me a core understanding of back-end techniques, enabling me to edit and manage these systems without external assistance.

Why me?

Focus on User Experience (UX)
Experienced in CSS animation and vector graphics (SVG)

Great at working with both Desigers and Technical people
Great at working with product owners and stakeholders
Great at client communication; recieving feedback, delivering a product, training users

Projects

My main task as a Front-end developer is translating a graphic design into clean and structured code that a Developer can start working with.

These tasks include setting up the Git respository, setting up the project filestructure and then building the HTML and CSS/Sass. Finally, I bring the design to life through the use of Javascript/jQuery, CSS, and vector animations. After that I optimize the code for speed and search engines.

These examples are primarily built from the ground up by me.
