Role overview
  • I was one of two Front-End Developers working on a Single Page Application build using both React and Redux.
  • The application allowed for a website to be built and subsequently configured using a bespoke suite of components and templates. My involvement related to adjusting existing websites.
  • This was achieved by accessing the configurable options of each component making up a websites page, getting both existing and setting new configuration values.
  • On saving any configuration changes, the website was automatically updated, reflecting the changes made.

I was recently lucky enough to have Martin join a team for which I am the ScrumMaster. Martin joined the project mid-way through, and had no problem in quickly getting himself up to speed on the work required of him. More than that though, from my point of view as a ScrumMaster, I was very impressed with how Martin always made sure to keep me up to date with the status of his work and any impediments he could foresee that I could help to remove. In my opinion, Martin is a dedicated and thorough developer, and I would be more than happy to work with him again in the future!

Martin picked up the project really quickly and was making valuable commits from the get go. He was great to work with, very personable and I'd be happy to work with him again on future projects.

I can highly recommend Martin to you. He cares about the details of UI component design and makes sure they look just like they've been designed. He represents both the technical and artistic sides of development, making it easy to explain design ideas to him. Martin showed a very positive attitude during our collaboration and I hope to work with him again in the future.
