Before web development I spent many years immersed in the wonderful worlds of academia and Academic publishing. This helped me to develop a keen eye for detail, a passion for simple, accessible communication and an obsession with finding new ways to present information in beautiful and engaging ways. When I’m not coding I'm mainly fooding - (eating, cooking, researching and spending an unhealthy amount of time instagramming). I travel when I can, read anything and everything and love a good coffee and chat.
Having spent years focusing on soft skills in academia and publishing I am thrilled to start adding more hard skills to the fantastic foundation I gained at Hackeryou. I'm happiest in an environment where I have the opportunity to learn new skills and pick up new tricks and tips (and pass them on too!)
Here are a few of my favourite Portfolio pieces:
Gallery site using isotope.js to animate filtering of artworks by category with lazyloading to minimize load times on the gallery page. Embedded video, gif and image artworks on display. Built as a solo development project for KPD-i
Custom theme developed with 4 different page layouts and ACF flexible content fields to allow the client to rearrange content as required. Use of Instructional tabs with screenshots to improve the clients user experience in the WP admin.
A custom theme developed for Walton Wood farm featuring ajax loading for wishlist and shopping basket functionality as well as custom filtering for products + map locations.
Custom built WordPress theme allowing site visitors to login and take a number of online assessment quizes evaluating their organizations accessibility in various areas. User data is stored on logout and the results are displayed in a variety of ways with Jquery generating custom progress analysis. Jquery tooltips and progressbars used throughout the site.
Iogram is new product from Mesh Consultants focusing on 3d modelling and parametric development. They needed an exciting new site which directed visitors to sign up for beta testing.
I used two separate AJAX calls to return recipes and ingredient information based on user selected course and cuisine. I then used jQuery to display the combined ingredients from the recipes the user selected in a shopping list.
We developed a website to feature eight Marvel Comic characters using RESTFUL API calls to retrieve data from the Marvel API, in order to pull specific information from the site.
A quiz created using JavaScript, the user is provided a breed that may look most like them based on the answer they provide to questions about their personality and appearance.
