Work Experience
Circle Interactive, Web Developer, Jul 2016 ~ Present
PHP & JS Development - CiviCRM - Drupal - Wordpress - UI Prototyping - SASS - Git - NGINX
Notable libraries & frameworks: React & Symphony
Circle Interactive was my introduction to multi-site working, which was something that I had not experienced in previous companies. Performing development for numerous clients on a daily basis has been an excellent learning experience because I have learned how to juggle their different goals and requirements. I quickly grew into my role and enjoyed working on new projects monthly, especially because I was given the platform to learn React (a long-term aspiration of mine).
Cap2 Solutions Ltd, Web Developer, Sep 2014 ~ Jun 2016
PHP & JS Development - Unit Testing - UI Prototyping - Support - Git - IIS & Apache
Notable libraries & frameworks: Angular & Symphony
Working in a small team in an agile environment gave me the opportunity to build upon my existing skill set and taught me deeply important time-management skills. A hands-on approach allowed me to grow quickly, especially since I was fortunate enough to work alongside more experienced developers. Their expertise was invaluable as I fulfilled feature requests for a sports management system.
Nokia Siemens Networks, Junior Software Developer, Aug 2012 ~ Aug 2013
PHP & JS Development - Ruby Environment Testing - Apache
Notable libraries & frameworks: Node.js & Watir
Working at Nokia Siemens Networks as part of my gap year was incredibly beneficial to my growth in web development. I strengthened the depth of my knowledge within a variety of languages and became accustomed to working techniques. I became very confident in my ability to work cooperatively with a team and in expressing beneficial ideas.
