Professional Experience
The Planning Inspectorate (Civil Service)
During my time as an EO associate developer with the planning inspectorate I had the opportunity to manage, maintain and cobntribute to
complex web applications used for a variety of business operations. The applications on display below were designed for uses such as document sharing,
peer reviewing, tracking case data (planning propsals), timekeeping, document templating and more.
To find out more about a project click the image.
Checkmark Is a document validation system that allows users to peer review, authenticate and process cases by passing cases and attached documents between users. Whilst managing this app I was able to add features, solve bugs and refactor code to create more efficient processes.
TimeSheets is a timekeeping system which allows users to input their hours spent working on particular cases. The system is able to search the company database to pull case data and produce reports for managers. During my time working on this application I was able to solve bugs, assist with new releases and implement new features.
DaRT (decision & reporting templates) is an MS Word addin which allows users to preload document templates by searching for the required case. The user is then able to edit and input sections with ease by selecting options on the sidebar. These options use the SharePoint API to pull prebuilt paragraph data to load into the document. During my time working with this application, I was able to solve bugs, assist with new releases and manage technical debt.
Technical Capabilities
Throughout my developing career I have become proficient in the use of popular tools/technologies such as VS-code, GitHub, Azure DevOps,
Docker, Postman, Jira, Vue, React, MSSQL, NodeJS, JavaScript, CSS and HTML. Having worked in a professional tech department I have
practiced the principles of current coding standards and agile methodologies whilst working to respond to stakeholder issues, deliver
new updates and actively maintain web apps and data.
These images are examples of the tools I have used and the team recources that I have contributed to or assisted in managing.
Personal Projects
These projects are applications I built in the easrly stages of my coding journey. They were built using of popular front-end technologies such as
React, Redux, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery and JSX. The initial ideas were begun as bootcamp assignments but deveoped their own logic and structure
as the project progressed.
These projects are available to try out via GitHub pages and the code is available to view on the GitHub repository. To try the app

About Me
The code...
I began my journey in code as a university student being introduced to C#. As a
unique tools for audio triggering & manipulation.
During this time I had my first taste of the potential to express myself creatively whilst building tools that offer new possibilities to the user.
At this stage, however, I lacked the foundational knowledge to understand languages and the theory behind it. Never the less, this experience instilled a
curiosity of coding technology that would come to define my goals for the future.
My journey continued later in life as I commited to exploring code further. Since October 2020 I have been a practicing developer, self-teaching through
online and bootcamp recources. Having now built foundational knowledge I am able to realise my creative visions and explore the further possibilities of
building different applications. I am now seeking to develop myself and my code further in a professional setting.
I am currently working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, JSX, React, Redux, VS-Code and GitHub Version control. My recent projects have also
allowed me to become proficient in RESTful API's, UI design, debugging and CommandLine interaction.
The person...
At the core I am a technical and creative person. I have an eye for detail in aesthetics and a passion for visionary design. As a computer musician &
developer I enjoy working on complex projects (often on a collaborative basis with peers). My temperament is friendly, engaging and optimistic. I am
outgoing and enjoy building strong social bonds. My interests include art, history, literature, movies, gaming, cooking and more.
I have a varied employment history and throughout it I've learnt how to perform effectively in many different capacities. My previous roles include,
quality assurance, data analysis, administration, sales, FOH/reception, customer service and more.
