Where I've Worked

Synergi Tech

Software Developer: April 2023 - Now

My current role at Synergi Tech involves working on a diverse portfolio of client websites, mostly written in Laravel. I also assist fellow team members with programming support.

LogicBarn

Software Developer: December 2021 - April 2023

My role at LogicBarn involved managing and supporting a team of developers in building and maintaining in-house tools and systems for both LogicBarn and its parent company, Gold Crest. This included code reviews, workflow scheduling, and systems testing. I was also involved in fieldwork, which included planning network installations, installing intercom systems, and upgrading infrastructure.

Some of my favourite work at this company involved modernising processes for external clients to streamline and improve their operations. One example was a custom invoicing system for a carpet retailer. Before our involvement, the retailer used handwritten paper invoices to record customer requests - a method that was inefficient and prone to calculation errors. I led the team in developing a new platform that allowed staff to use tablets and laptops to enter customer information. The system would then automatically calculate the invoice total, print the necessary documents, and email a copy to the customer. Initially deployed at a single store, the system was so successful that it was quickly rolled out to several other locations.

Quick by Design

Lead Developer: 2015 - December 2021

I worked as a lead developer for QBD. My day-to-day work here included maintaining the codebase for our in house CMS that runs hundreds of brochure and eCommerce websites for our clients, managing our email systems, and ensuring that the servers were up to date and secure. I also developed new systems to further increase the reach of our services that we offer whilst ensuring the tools we produce are both extensive and easy to use.

Later on in my time at QBD, I lead the development of a custom in-house platform for managing Wordpress installations. This platform was constructed in Laravel and NodeJS and allowed smooth operation of the Wordpress installations that we manage for our clients. This platform was fully capable of setting up new websites, managing core, theme and plugin updates and taking regular backups of the websites.

BB Window Cleaning Services

BB Window Cleaning is one of my first professional website clients. My work for this company includes making sure the contents on the website is accurate and up-to-date and maintaining their email system.

The IT Store

Work Experience for 2 Weeks - 2013

My time here was used to further develop my skills with computer hardware and software. I was involved in resolving issues with client’s computers; sorting through returned stock to identify problematic hardware; and general shop duties.
