  • Elektra Media Ltd
    Developer And Project Manager
    Elektra Media Ltd Mar 2013 - Mar 2015
    Manchester, United Kingdom
    Initially brought in to develop six interactive games for a leading educational publisher. Working in tandem with Elektra Media's in-house designer, it was this project that gave me the opportunity to expand and grow my front-end development skills. I now consider myself experienced with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript (jQuery). I also picked up a shed-load of knowledge covering cross-browser compatibility, responsive design and mobile/tablet devices. During a project to create educational videos, I also gain valuable experience for developing with Adobe Flash. This provided me with a strong grounding in ActionScript 3 and use of key products in the Adobe Creative Suite (namely Flash Professional, Photoshop and Illustrator). Not to mention, I also built the HTML5 interface to deliver the videos on major browsers, mobile devices and CD-ROM. And if that wasn't enough to keep me busy, I am also the Project Manager for a handful of publishing and quality assurance projects. This involves management of freelancer and in-house staff, budget and scheduling, and liaising with the client.

My new role brought me closer to working with our in-house IS Development Team; it was my responsibility to understand the business change requirements of front-line users and senior management, and then interpret how these requirements can marry with technical solutions.Experience/skills include:• Technical-minded; I have experience in maintaining the company intranet. Responsibilities include creating web pages, publishing project updates and reports, maintaining the suite of policies/ procedures, and drilling down into the HTML code to fix common bugs in the system.• Teamwork; Working closely and building relationships with the IS Development Team and other stakeholders was key to drafting and signing-off technical solutions for business change projects.• Accountable; Regularly reporting project updates and policy development to Corporate and Senior Management. It was crucial that all management information was correct and clearly presented.• Influential; I excel in my ability to negotiate and motivate, allowing me to build confidence and trust with colleagues across the business and more widely with external customers/suppliers.
