What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity, collaboration, and growth.

Hello, I'm Steve, a professional and dedicated freelance website developer with a strong track record of delivering complex digital systems. Since graduating with First Class Honours in 2013, I have consistently strived to enhance my programming knowledge by working on a wide variety of projects for multiple clients. This experience has broadened my technical skills and enhanced my efficiency, allowing me to quickly identify and resolve programmatic challenges.

In my role as a freelancer, I have developed complex website applications, consistently aiming to make applications object-oriented wherever possible. My experience includes working alongside staff within different companies, always respecting each member and assisting wherever possible. I have also contributed to the growth of businesses by structuring core foundations and methodologies, ensuring that objectives are met while maintaining high coding standards.

Throughout my career, I have worked on numerous well-known branded websites and have successfully implemented new modules, fixed bugs, and improved user experiences. I am passionate about creating functional and user-friendly websites, and I enjoy meeting new people and participating in community events to further develop my interpersonal skills.
