Curtis Burns

As the director and sole web developer of my company, I have the freedom to leverage the most advanced and cutting-edge web development technologies without the challenges typically encountered in larger corporate environments, to provide digital solutions to clients around the world. With a specialisation in JAM stack and composable architecture, I build scalable, secure, high-performance websites, web applications, and e-commerce sites. I also have experience in integrating Augmented Reality (AR) technologies into web experiences, enhancing engagement and interactivity for clients. I have a diverse client portfolio spanning various industries, including the art, hospitality, logistics, science and engineering, and floristry industries. I have collaborated with startups and creative agencies, delivering tailored web solutions that meet their unique needs and business objectives.

My goal is to empower businesses with exceptional digital experiences that drive results and exceed expectations.

Web Developer with a specialization in e-commerce and a strong proficiency in Shopify. I gained a reputation for building visually stunning and highly functional websites, web applications, and progressive web applications (PWAs). With expertise in front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React and Vue.js, I brought websites to life while ensuring optimal performance, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility.

I developed and deployed numerous websites, web applications, and PWAs, mainly as a solo developer and as part of a team, taking projects from concept to completion. I served as the go-to expert for e-commerce projects, specialising in the Shopify platform. I ensured successful migrations of websites from various platforms to Shopify, delivering seamless transitions and improved functionality. I integrated plugins, inventory management systems, and other software to enhance e-commerce capabilities for clients. On each project, I collaborated with designers, project managers, and contractors to translate mockups and wireframes into polished and user-friendly interfaces. Throughout, I built strong client relationships, understanding their business requirements and providing tailored solutions to meet their unique needs. I kept up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in web development, implementing best practices and driving innovation within the company, looking to improve existing processes where possible.

Over the 12 weeks I have been on the General Assembly Web Development Immersive course, I have been able to work on numerous exciting projects, giving me the opportunity to develop the skills that are essential to becoming a resourceful and effective web developer, while also gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of programming. The course has allowed me to gain experience of the full stack, with technologies such as JavaScript ES6, Node.js, AngularJS and React.js.
