Hi, I'm Jack. A passionate UI engineer with a love of JavaScript and a strong UX/design background, I’d consider myself a creative engineer who always enjoys solving digital problems. I’ve found I can easily put myself in the mindset of the user and I work hard to create the best experience possible, all the while bearing in mind the value of clean, maintanable code. Web technologies evolve at an incredibly fast pace and that’s one of the reasons I enjoy working with them so much. I've worked on projects ranging from one-week experimental solo ideas all the way up to campaigns for big brands like Brown-Forman, alongside a team of ten, delivered in time for Christmas. Over the past few years I've worked on a number of digital products and agency projects and find I can quickly adapt to different ways of working. In the times when I’m not writing code, I enjoy reading, playing the piano, seeing live music and poetry, and having good conversations with good people. **Primary Skills** HTML/CSS JavaScript (Procedural, Functional) React, Redux, Angular 1.5, jQuery CSS Preprocessors (styled-components, Sass, Less, Stylus) Front End Frameworks (Foundation, Bootstrap) UX/UI Design Git GraphQL (react-apollo, express-graphql) HTML Templating (Pug, Handlebars) BDD (WebDriver, Cypress) TDD (Jest, Enzyme) Task Runners (Grunt, Gulp, Webpack) Agile Development Nextjs **Secondary Skills** Node Express Mongoose/MongoDB **Day rate** £550/day **Experience** 2016 - 2018 _24 months:_ Various projects for Eurostar International including a new accounts and loyalty scheme, the main eurostar.com entry-point and their new hotel and travel packages offering. **Tech used: React, Redux, GraphQL, styled components, Jest, Enzyme, react-test-library.** 2016 _2 months:_ - Helped Mighty Sharp build a new kind of management consulting recruitment platform. **Tech used: React, Sass.** 2016 _4 months:_ Built touch screen interfaces for use in exhibitions for MCCGLC. **Tech used: touch screens, NFC and capacitive touch, built using web technologies like AngularJs and Electron.** 2016 _2 weeks:_ Built a new CMS-driven site for PJD tax consultants to attract new clients. **Tech used: KeystoneJs.** 2016, _4 months:_ Improving on a legacy codebase for a large bank for the creative agency Dare. 2015, _2 months:_ Working closely with designers at Communicator to build data-driven interactive components using D3.js. 2015, _4 months:_ Built a large, agile greenfield project with M&C Saatchi for a series of promotional events . **Tech used: Angular.js.** 2015 _2 months:_ Two short projects for the angency Holler; building a static site and designing the UX for another brand new project. 2013-2014 _12 months:_ Working as CobwebMedia's in-house designer and developer, getting involved in everything from initial UX discovery to final front-end build. **Qualifications and education** **BA Graphic Design** at Kingston University…Hi, I'm Jack.
