Project Outline: Working on the Tesco/F&F Clothing Frontend development team for the run up to Black Friday and Xmas/New Year period. Typical Page builds covered Homepage/Womens Wear/Mens Wear/Kids Wear/Editorials as well as Header/Footer/Nav fixes depending on ticket scheduling via Asana (Teamwork without email).

Skills Applied: Exposure to Asana ticketing system as a means to get sign­off and feedback from the Design, Trading and Copywriter Teams. Maintaining page build quality with hand coded HTML5 & CSS3, as well as keeping backup continuity between Staging and Live site publishing.

Project Outline: Working along side their commercial team, I took care of building out content for campaign pages/Microsites and developing advertisement modules (MPU, Bulletin Boards, Leader Boards etc) depending on the each weeks sprint.

Skills Applied: Projects worked on consisted of HTML5 builds, and those with richer UX utilised the HTML5 variant of the GreenSock animation framework for more consistent browser support (IE9). Quick turn around often required utilising the teams commercial code repository for typical build. For Microsite development the Github variant of Beanstalk was used to push content live, whilst with ad module builds the Pictela platform was used to test and preview ads on campaign pages.

Project Outline: With VidCon 2014 set to launch on June 26th over in California, this Front end contract role had me working with Lead Designers at BS&T to build out the bespoke HTML5, CSS, UI/UX and Mobile support for Contiki's Adventure Travel RoadTrip Microsite. Brought on board in early June The aim was to have it go live by the time Vicon was underway.

Skills Applied: Using the Bootstrap Framework as a start point, a custom navigation menu was developed specifically for this project. jQuery, CSS3 and HTML5 were coded with a Mobile First priority in order to support as many devices as possible. Once this was completed, it could be integrated into each page of the microsite. The remaining Responsive Page Builds were integrated into Contiki’s Ruby On Rails based CMS. Extensive device testing was done via BrowserStack, and Custom Javascript and jQuery functions were implemented to disable video playback for tablets and to support simple form validation functionality.

Project Outline: Implementing Front­End Page Builds from PSD's for Desktop and Mobile. Day to day development was prioritized via the weekly page build schedule, i.e. Editorials, Womens/Mens Wear and Landing Pages were developed in Matches Staging environment and pushed to Live in the Quantive .Net CMS Platform. Email Marketing Campaigns were managed via the The Lyris Email Marketing Platform.

Skills Applied: Page Content was hand coded in Sublime Text editor using XHTML/HTML5 with sourced jQuery snippets and custom CSS for Bespoke & layouts optimizations. Local browsers such as Chrome/FF/IE were used for cruder development tests. Sliced PSD Assets were hosted live via CyberDuck .

Project Outline: ​Worked in the design and development team to launch the campaign #NOREGRETS Adventure Challenge for Contiki.com. Developing for a mobile first strategy I came on board to mark up the final approved design into a HTML5 Responsive campaign Landing Page. I also assisted in scoping out the Mobile UI requirements as well as cross browser/device testing in BrowserStack.

Skills Applied: Using Bootstrap The Responsive Framework, I was able to quickly implement CSS Classes and Div stacking to the site wide standard to achieve the base of the responsive layout. Where Bootstrap didn’t suffice I had to develop custom Classes and CSS Media Queries to achieve the desired page layout for mobile, tablet and desktop continuity. For dynamic aspects of the page SmoothScroll.js & Colorbox.js were sourced. I was also tasked with developing a time sensitive price switch function in jQuery for a separate campaign page on the site.
