Description

I am a skilled UX Frontend developer with over 20 years of commercial experience working within small to medium size studios and large blue chip clients.

I offer a high level of technical expertise which can be applied to many areas of digital production which includes wire framing, prototyping using Axure, writing functional specifications, digital design, front end development. I specialise in UI Frontend development utilising frontend frameworks React and Vue js.

My main skills and interests are around BEM and component based UI. I believe that by having smaller reusable components, which are based around the BEM and atomic design principles, this will help streamline development and improve consistencies across any project.

I always put in more than is required and have an eye for detail. I am always very punctual and present very well. I own my own home in Tamworth, Staffordshire and have a full clean driving license and am willing to travel for the right project.
