Highly creative and passionate front-end website developer and graphic designer with extensive experience in responsive website development using several programming languages, software, and operating systems.

My management skills range from organising the teams, tasks, timelines, to communicating with clients and senior management. With my experience I have the understanding of what each team member needs to do to help speed up the production time by offering logical advice and methods to my fellow colleagues if needed.

My key strengths are attention to detail, understanding what the end result needs to be, organised and methodical processes, to work under pressure, and to work in a team. I am honest, hard working, and can easily learn and adapt my working environment.
