Along with a more senior web developer I have undertaken multiple web development projects for businesses and self employed customers. Our focus has been primarily on free hosting and open source bespoke CMS solutions.

• Provided full-stack website development using modern technologies such as React, Next.js and Sanity.
• Used React Native for mobile development.
• Discussed proposals with customers to help build bespoke content management systems using Sanity.
• Planned website development, designed mockups and converted them into useable web presence using HTML, JavaScript, and JSON.
• Created content management tutorials to help customers use and navigate the technology effectively.
• Detailed clear deadlines for both us and the customers to allow for transparency in our process.
• Maintained SEO best practices while designing projects and lead copy creation to provide relevant keyword integration.
• Oversaw technical issues and troubleshooting requests to resolve user problems.

• Built a bespoke accounting suite to handle customer information (GDPR compliant) and keep track of business performance using price, profit and sales trends.
• Created auto-generating partnership & VAT tax return information to handle seamless tax return processing.
• Built and maintained the businesses website and handled all SEO interactions to keep us at the top of Google. This included constant refining of our content and activity to better reach our customer base.
• Maintained HETAS accreditation through further training and keeping up to date with changing regulations. This allowed us to refine our working process to cut down our daily hours and keep costs down.
• Handled sales queries with customers on a regular basis to find products that suited their specific circumstances.
• Organized scheduling of current jobs which required coordination with customers and contractors.
• Carried out work at heights and within peoples homes requiring methodical and careful planning to maintain safety and cleanliness. Due to the dangerous nature of our work we had to ensure that all of the relevant regulations were followed and when extenuating circumstances were present that we could critically analyze the nature of the regulation to ensure that our work was safe and could be signed off appropriately.

• Developed and implemented performance improvement strategies and plans to promote continuous improvement.
• Used critical thinking to break down problems, evaluate solutions and make decisions.
• Learned the skills required to fulfill my job role and achieve HETAS accreditation.
