I'm offering
Lead Developer on Digital Impact Awards 2019 'Campaign of the Year' for one of the 'big four' accounting organisations. Achieving a second Digital Impact Awards achievement in 2020 for work with Vodafone, UK.
I am obsessed with a modern web standards based HTML, CSS and Javascript approach to strong SEO focused front end development – with specialist optimisations for responsiveness, page load and site speed - such as critical inline assets, lazy loading assets and optimised responsive image output.
My formal educational background comes from design for print and screen. This allows me to bridge the digital communication gap between both design and development languages – assisting in aligning project teams to optimise workflow and output truly creatively realised, co-operative work.
Working experience in the UK, Sweden and Japan - both within agency settings as well as a contractor/freelancer.
Conversation Japanese and Swedish as well as native English.
