I have 3 years of web development experience and in that time I've built a diverse skillset utilising multiple technologies.

I have a particular interest in animation, utilising GSAP to create engaging experiences.

Display Banner Specialist

I'm an expert in bringing display banners to life. Whether it's standard or dynamic, I use GSAP to animate and Google Marketing Platform's "Studio" to put them into the world.

With experience in Ad Operations and Web Development, I have a deep understanding of the entire ecosystem.

Content Management

Having used a multitude of content management systems and constructed content models, I understand the patterns of these systems, how to break them down and use them efficiently.

Problem solving

Working in web development and ad operations there's no shortage of tricky problems to figure out.

I break problems down into smaller chunks and eliminate possible solutions until the problem is solved.

Time management

I cut my teeth working in a fast paced agency landscape where projects need to be delivered on time and to a high quality. This environment demands that you manage your time effectively or risk falling behind.

Fast learner

I started my career in Ad Operations with no knowledge or experience. I started coding banners on the job with only basic web development skills. Fast forward to today and I've built a strong skillset in both of those disciplines.

I pick up new skills quickly and have no problem learning on the job. My ability to learn new things fast is what has driven my career.
