Web technologies

I have over 10 years of experience working with HTML, CSS/Sass and JavaScript. I took my CSS knowledge further in my second job where we built a front end framework and created our own naming methodology based on BEM.
I got to grips with using a task runner in my second job along with creating our own front end framework to ensure everything was compiled from Sass to CSS, auto updated and minified. I soon learnt Webpack on the side, in fact, this website uses webpack!
I delved into the Microsoft stack where I learnt ASP.NET MVC to to handle server side data to be sent through into the front end. Online training, fixing bugs and implementing features soon bought my knowledge up to an intermediate level allowing me to feel far more comfortable with handling and displaying data for a web application.
One can never shy away from React! As of June 2023 I am currently undergoing Udemy's React course to gain a better understanding in my spare time.
Testimonials
Matt Berry
Lead UX Designer
James was a positive force in the team and a pleasure to work with on a few digital projects. He always remained objective in his approach allowing him to make informed work decisions.
James actively contributed and adapted to new working practices. He was also instrumental in helping shape the company web framework. This framework utilised reusable components and incorporated brand, usability and accessibility guidelines. It also formed the standards for how teams worked across the business.
I would not hesitate in recommending him for his next development role.
