Idea Rebel is a Strategic Digital Marketing Agency driven by Technology and Design

I have worked on several large projects for a variety of clients, from start-ups to established companies. I have provided Front-end and Back-end development for my clients, solely integrating various open source platforms such as Wordpress and Magento.

This was my defining role as a Web Developer. I was the senior developer at Digital Agency, Organic Hospitality. They were a UK based company with offices in Glasgow and London and primarily focused on the Hospitality Industry.I developed excellent time management skills by working on several large projects simultaneously. I was constantly refining my toolkit to work faster and smarter, i.e., using SASS and Grunt on SherbrookeCastleHotel.co.uk greatly improved my workflow.A major highlight of this role was the freedom and responsibility I was given to make important calls on development decisions. Responsive or mobile? Wordpress or Drupal? These are just a few of the calls I had to make on an everyday basis.This role has provided me with a great insight into all aspects of Web Development including maintaining and optimizing Dedicated, VPS and Hybrid servers to ensure that our clients received the best performance.

My main responsibility was the day to day running of the company’s Magento E-Commerce website. I have implemented improvements to the user experience for e.g. dynamic drop down menus and development of the checkout system. Optimising the user experience is an on-going process. Other tasks include the design and development of E-Mail templates, maintaining accurate data for over 400 products, Search Engine Optimisation and dealing with customer queries.

After graduating from University in 2007 I started working for Lairdesign. A digital agency based in the UK.I worked along side an experienced Senior Developer helping build various websites using the Content Management System Wordpress. This is when I first started working with Wordpress and have been using it ever since.In my time at Lairdesign I was able to develop my skills and learn best practices when building websites. This has stood me in good stead ever since and helped me become an experience Senior Developer at Organic Hospitality.
