10+ Years experience online
At the age of 32 I have over 2 decades of working passionately in areas of online and offline media building and creating unique pieces and systems in my own personal style. A decade of this is in the online world. I transitioned from print based Graphic Design work into online media back in college and long before that since as young as I can remember I was being creative with detailed drawings and mixed media. The creativity I learned from a youngster helped me immensely building innovated applications with a core concept... anything is possible.
I have 8 years experience personally and professionally in front end design including (X)HTML(4/5), CSS / SASS / LESS, HTML emails, Responsive Web Design, MVVM frameworks, cross device and browser issues, code validation, Photoshop and other design tools.
I have 6 years experience across a range of front and back-end frameworks and languages including PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, MAMPP, Wordpress, Laravel, and SilverStripe, . My preference is to code from scratch and rely on external libraries sparingly.
I have 6 years experience in paid for and organic search marketing and tracking including Google products (Adwords, Tag manager, Analytics, Webmaster Tools), Bing Advertising, Social media promotion and app integration, and email marketing.
I have 8 years experience and in depth knowledge of SEO best practices including on page optimization, keyword targeting, canonicalization, duplicate content, hierarchy, internal and external linking optimisation, Meta tags, page speed, and indexing.
