Role overview
  • This was a 1 month contract where I was hired to build a fully functional set of CSS, HTML and JavaScript-rich templates for Jams client, Sky. Once supplied to Sky, their own in-house development team were then fully responsible for data integration, which for this particular project, consumed a number of their own secure APIs, providing data for Skys tv listings and functionality for many of their unique offerings such as remote record.

If Carlsberg made developers ... Martin is a rarity - his vast experience, common sense, genius brain, passion for what he does and conscientious nature is what facilitates his obsession with best practise & creating the best work. He is a 'real developer' coding from scratch when needed in a fraction of the time it takes most developers and to a quality Tech directors can only dream of. Martin studied at St Martins, so has a creative eye, yet has an incredible technical brain, can communicate like 'normal people' explaining very technical 'stuff' in a way anyone can understand - just some of the the myriad of reasons that make him one of the best front end devs around. The work speaks for itself & so do his recommendations (& the people who recommend him).

Martin worked with us on a front end interface project, I found him to be extremely professional, a fast and meticulous developer with an excellent eye for detail and design. His expert knowledge in his field gave me a lot of confidence and assurance when he promised delivery times. Would certainly work with Martin again.
