Helped ATS (Applicant Tracking System) startup hya to define their visual identity and build their MVP. I built out the design system using Figma, utilising best practices like team libraries, colour and type styles, and auto layout. 

Alongside the design work, I reskinned existing interfaces, working with the CTO to transition the styling approach from Styled Components to TailwindCSS, providing a faster, more consistent application of the new design system.

I also worked with their designer to plan and implement data-heavy features like reporting, and completely rethought and refactored the application's navigation.

Lead Full Stack Developer

Lime Green Tangerine

The most notable project is a large-scale enterprise-level build. The client had a challenging brief that meant I was asked to be involved in multiple parts of the project delivery. They wanted a user-editable website, comprehensive admin permissions for various levels of staff and members across different regions, events and news pages and paywalled publications.  The project was discussed in meetings with the client, LGT management, LGT senior designer & myself. A project specification was agreed upon after research, input & discussion from all involved. Considering factors like spec., budget and timeline, I advised that WordPress would be a suitable CMS, and PHP suitable for custom back end code. 

Page templates were written in PHP, HTML JS & SCSS. Custom PHP scripts were used to handle comprehensive admin permissions. WorldPay was integrated as the payment gateway.

Other projects included: Diagnosing a hacked website by analysing network traffic & subsequent recovery of the website. Email signatures & templates for use in Mailchimp or other email marketing software.

Delivered 10 projects for illustrate.digital, a digital agency based in Cardiff. Spanning sectors like fin-tech, law, retail & eCommerce. They were advocates of official WP coding standards, object-oriented PHP and MVC pattern where appropriate - so this is how I wrote my code.
