Black Square Print Portal
Working for a printing company, Black Square Litho, I built a portal for their clients to order bulk printing services. The portal was built using ReactJS, with a Firebase database and authentication. There was also an email sending function written as an ExpressJS API hosted on Heroku for confirming orders and communicating with clients.

Lead Front End Developer
Penna.
Penna is a vibrant digital agency who specialise in recruitment, and work with some huge clients such as Asda, Jaguar Landrover and a number of secure government departments. I was responsible for leading the front end development of the numerous applications developed and maintained by the Penna digital team.
• Architected and built a number of assessment applications for secure government clients using ReactJS, Redux, websockets and various other technologies depending on the use case (e.g. language processing APIs to build chatbots). These applications are used to assess thousands of applicants to secure government roles, and as such efficiency and code robustness/security were paramount.
• Provided security reviews of code built by other developers to ensure it met the standards required by Penna’s clients, as well as making sure it was well written and easily maintainable.
• Built a mobile app using Ionic 3 and Angular 5, which is used to welcome new hires to Penna and provide a place for them to handle all their paperwork, as well as providing tips about their new office and information they might need before they start. The app will eventually be white-labelled and available to all Penna’s clients as part of their onboarding process.
• Built and maintained a number of websites for clients using vanilla Javascript, with responsiveness and accessibility being essential.
• Provided technical training for permanent members of staff on the technologies and frameworks used in the applications under Penna’s care.
• Working in an agency environment, I was also responsible for keeping accurate timesheets for the work I had done each week so clients were billed appropriately.
