I have been working within the digital industry for over 3 years. I began as a designer for a digital agency and acquired a range of skills as a developer, client liaison and project manager. I have focused my interests towards front–end development with a passion for user experience theory and information architecture. I am an efficient at multitasking and I pay close attention to detail when handcoding websites, ensuring my work is up to W3C Standards and the best examples of usability and accessibility.

At BP I am assisting the new launch of the Careers, Technology and Sustainability landing sections of the BP Global website. I work with a contract company to upgrade the BP XML templates to be inline with w3c standards and upgrade the sites resolution to 1024 from 800 by 600 resolution.

I was responsible for the front end development primarily of these sites and landing pages:

• BBA Aviation
• Savills
• BP

While at SAS I have helped with the template build for the new Savills website and am heading the web build of the new BBA Aviation website. I have also worked on projects such as Slaughters and May, KPMG, Ernst and Young Spring Campaign and BP in updating and creating XHTML, XML and CSS layouts.

I was responsible for the design of inner page layout, front–end development and content entry of this site:

• Tesco Magazine – Online edition

During my time with Reactive I completed the new development for the Tesco Magazine issue November – December 2009.

During my time at BP I helped launch a series of reports on BP.com such as the sustainability report, financial review and statistical review. I liaised with third party companies to provide design and development solutions for the BP.com platform such as SAS, WIPRO and VSA.

I helped improve:

• Accessibility standards with custom XHTML fixes;
• Create new process documents to manage complex XML Flash Tools; and
• Improve the BP.com team’s development skills and understanding of XHTML/CSS and accessibility guidelines.
