PROFILE
I am a motivated, analytical and helpful individual with considerable programming experience who is keen to get back into full time employment now my son is of school age.
Fundamentally I write highly functional bespoke WordPress themes (using the Roots/Sage framework) to designs and specifications provided by clients. Working in tandem with Media Fusion and Studio Innate I was the single point of contact for virtually all website related work and over 8 years developed a much broader skillset. I manage the hosting of 28 websites.
I am conscientious, have a strong pro-active work ethic and am comfortable working within a team environment or as an individual. I communicate clearly and confidently with colleagues, clients and partners developing strong and trusting relationships.
I am looking for a highly fulfilling role to test and further my abilities where I can add value and work alongside a motivated and knowledgeable team of people.
