WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
I work for PruProtect as an in-house web designer but am also available on a freelance basis. I've been a web designer for over four years now and I love that the industry I work in is so dynamic. Standards and technologies are constantly evolving and keeping things interesting. Thanks to this I am constantly teaching myself new things to integrate into my next project.

Web
I've been designing and building web sites for 5 years now. All my code is handwritten, standards compliant and cross-browser compatible. I've been involved with projects from wire-framing and usability testing to build and deployment. In my current full-time role I work closely with external agencies, and our development and content management teams.

Mobile
Recently I've been brushing-up on Android based apps and adaptive sites that are device independent. I have developed my own Android native app and browser based applications, sometimes using Phonegap, other times coding the jQuery from scratch.

- CSS 2 & 3
- Javascript
- jQuery/jQuery mobile/jqtouch
- PHP
- MySQL
- XML
- AJAX
95% of all the code I write is hand-written. Whever possible I prefer to write my own functions instead of relying on plug-ins. Dreamweaver is still my editor of choice as it's what I've used from day one. I rely less on it's WYSIWIG capabilities and more for its code hinting and completion.
