Senior Front-End Developer

Profero

  • December 2012 - March 2013
  • London, UK
Profero
Role overview
  • I worked on 2 fairly similar projects during my 4 months at Profero. Both were extremely rich (in functionality) responsive front-end websites, built to work across desktop, mobile and tablet using a combination of HTML4/5, CSS 2/3 and JavaScript. The first site was designed and built as a full-screen immersive user experience, whereas the second was restricted and governed by a Sharepoint set of templates, running at fixed-width dimensions. Both were built 100% by me from scratch through to completion. The full-screen site required the building of a complete timelining JavaScript framework, allowing for a Flash-esque timeline and queuing mechanism, along with being dynamic in its ability to render in 1 of 4 different languages. The fixed-width site was more of a scroll site, albeit with gesture based alternatives for mobile and tablet switched in at appropriate times.

Martin worked with us on three challenging projects as a front end developer. His work was excellent and he always added massive value. Martin has excellent attention to detail and always strives for the best possible final product. He naturally added polish to everything he worked on. I can not recommend Martin enough, without doubt he is one of the best front end developers I have worked with in the last 14 years. It would be a pleasure to work with him again.

Martin came in as a freelancer to help out on a project and certainly did that. Martin’s technical ability, passion and willingness to get stuck in make working with Martin easy and enjoyable. Martin is always striving to create the best work and his proficient way of working allows this to happen. He has great attention to detail and is a great problem solver, explaining his process and decision making alone the way, giving everyone involved the understanding and confidence needed to get the project done. I couldn't recommend Martin enough and will certainly be trying to snap him up when I need more freelance cover.
