I built websites. I used my passion for clean and modern front-end development techniques to build the best experiences that I could. I loved working alongside intelligent, creative people in order to provide a complete service to both new and existing clients alike.

During my time at NetPivotal, I played my part in the redesign and continual development of the company's website. I got a lot deeper than just the top-level website though; often working on the custom web hosting setup that was spread across an array of dedicated servers.I had previous knowledge of Unix-based web hosting before joining NetPivotal. I was able to bring this experience to the team and was always able to give a fresh outlook on things. I learnt a great deal about the Microsoft tech stack whilst at NetPivotal, quickly picking up a wide range of new skills.Technologies: PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Windows Server, Linux (multiple flavours), WorldPay, Plesk, cPanel.
