An exciting opportunity, I am currently working on a variety of platforms and projects. This role is giving me the opportunity to contribute with an extensive knowledge of LAMP stack and Drupal framework as well as newer technologies such as AngularJS, MEAN stack and other Javascript frameworks.

A full-stack role involving the implementation of a wide range of technologies (PHP, Silex, Javascript, HTML/SASS/CSS, etc.), I joined the iPlayer Radio team to contribute in the development of new software and maintenance of the existing code base.

Check out some of the new Radio homepages:

• BBC Radio One
• BBC Radio Two
• 6 Music
• World Service Radio

I was invited to join a team of skilled web developers to produce and maintain a wide range of projects, in this case the chosen platform was Drupal 7 (PHP/jQuery/HTML/SASS).

I was hired to join the team in charge of developing a new mobile app for the National Lottery. The chosen technologies for this project were NodeJS, AngularJS, Jasmine, HTML, CSS/SASS, Javascript, PhoneGap and Ionic.

Hired as a full stack developer, I contributed in the continuous development and maintenance of iBroadcast publishing tools, I was also involved in developing new tools that were to be launched in 2015.

Wagstaffs Design was in need of a developer capable of delivering a complete solution, the challenge was creating an interactive map on large screens for the Mall of Berlin, this came in the form of a 3D Unity map integrated to a Drupal site with a complex jQuery layer. I assessed the project, re-did 85% of it and delivered it as expected.

The second project I worked on was LocaLove, a Drupal 7 site that relies heavily on its responsiveness.

I also helped the agency to set-up a Linux based development environment at their office and to start using an Agile approach on their projects.

A mobile-first, progressive enhancement approach was adopted to develop a fresh and modern user experience for more than 1200 devices, here are some of the sites:

For Brainstorm Digital I did a wide range of work that included developing Drupal websites from scratch based on flat designs, working on existing Drupal websites to expand their functionality, an example of the latest is the Jewish Historical Society of England, for them I built a Drupal module to convert a PDF book into nodes (web pages), all linked by a main index and other standard navigation. Finally, I also worked in modifying and extending a complex PHP/MySql custom built CMS that is being used by several of their clients.
