About Me

I am a web developer with 9 years experience, specialising in all things e-commerce & Magento. I am comfortable doing everything from frontend to integrating into platforms such as Salesforce. I am also experienced in optimising shops for speed as well as having gained knowledge of conversion best practices.

More About Me

I am an enthusiastic web developer who prides himself on being a problem solver and being detail orientated in every job I do. I have 9 years’ experience In both frontend and back-end development for a wide range of software, specialising mainly in Magento but have also worked with Wordpress, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, Joomla and fully bespoke systems. I am equally at home taking customer designs and bringing them to life on the frontend using HTML/HTML5, JavaScript (Jquery/Prototype), CSS3, LESS, SASS (Compass) as I am integrating the backend into platforms such as Salesforce using OOP PHP & MySQL.

I have a keen interest in e-commerce and how the UI/UX and site performance affects conversion and have been lucky enough to sit down with a representative from Google in a trial scheme for one of my clients. This enabled me to discuss best practice and what Google has seen from their data to optimise conversion for an e-commerce site and would love to expand on this knowledge in the future. I am also involved in the maintenance, upkeep and building of new server environments using Ubuntu 14/16 as well as creating designs for websites using Adobe Creative Suite applications.
