I develop web and mobile apps, with a focus on providing a quality user experience, with fine attention to detail from UI Design to the underlying architecture. I'll take any challenge and make it work, and I always remember to add the small things that make people smile and come back. I'm currently working on mobile first web apps using AngularJS, ReactJS, Node, Browserify, Backbone and Google Closure libraries. In the last year I've worked on Frontend builds for Nike, Google and Apple. I've always got side projects on the go too, which is what I do to learn new things and experiment.Frontend Engineer @ From September 2015 to Present (2 months) London, United KingdomSenior Frontend Developer @ Currently developing mobile-first JavaScript applications using AngularJS. During my time at R/GA I've been fortunate to have worked on Frontend builds for Nike, Google and Apple. From March 2013 to September 2015 (2 years 7 months) LondonFounder & CTO @ CPD Review is an online platform providing Dental Professionals with accurate and impartial reviews for CPD courses. From June 2012 to November 2013 (1 year 6 months) London, United KingdomSoftware Development Engineer @ I worked at CertiVox developing web-based security products for military-grade communications in the financial, law, and public sectors. During my time there I designed and developed the world’s first end-to-end secure email client in JavaScript/HTML5 (http:// www.privatesky.me), using elliptical curve cryptography for data encryption and message signing and verification. I enabled the encryption of files over 500MB in-browser via pushing the capabilities of HTML5 web workers to the limit, so encryption is ‘chunked’, queued, and processed via 3 asynchronous workers so even web browsers on slow computers didn’t experience browser lockup. The encryption libraries were developed by Professor Mike Scott, which I became educated and familiarised with. I helped port them to JavaScript by working with libraries developed by Stanford University, oversaw compatibility testing with Managed C++ and C# libraries, and finally made sure their integration with the UX in an email client was as seemless as possible. The ported libraries surpassed benchmarks achieved by Stanford libraries, and the additional functionality achieved with HTML5 web workers allowed me to produce an enterprise-level solution to encrypting email attachments. I also developed compatibility testing tools, for example, to make sure a message encrypted on iOS could be decrypted in a web browser in JavaScript. Other notable projects included designing and developing company dashboards to display product usage and sales metrics, in HTML5, CSS3 and .NET (C#) backend, connecting to an API interfacing the MongoDB datastore.
