Jack Pritchard

New CV, Who dis?

Good Evening, I'm Jack Pritchard, a passionate front-end website developer.

I want to improve how businesses present themselves in the form of brand development and design.

Born and raised in Swansea, I came to the South of England to complete studies in Website Design and Development where I graduated with a 1:1 on my undergraduate course.

I’ve now returned to my studies with a focus on growing my business, continuning my studies on a post-graduate MA Creative Enterprise course.

It's a fancy way of saying advanced business studies.

My primary focus is website development, specifically front-end web technologies and implementing the latest frameworks to create bespoke solutions to solve business problems.

I have experience in HTML, CSS, SCSS, JavaScript, jQuery, React, PHP, WordPress, Gatsby.

Heck this site is built with most of those!

Although I have experience creating bespoke backend systems, my true passion lies in the front-end development. Turning designs into functional pages that represent brands or enable users to make use of web applications.

As part of a one-man business, I deal with client services, communications and website design/development.

During my studies at Solent University, I undertook a work placement at Moov2 for a full year of internship.

Working as a web designer and developer, I assisted with both the front-end designs of websites and assited in developing with web technologies, front-end and back-end languages such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SCSS.

I have learnt how to use Git, Bitbucket, Github as part of my source control training and know how to work in the context of a large team.

As the only website designer and developer of the team, I was tasked with creating designs for clients and following a structured creative process when generating ideas and solutions.

As well as the initial designs, I was also responsible for creating the website applications and interfaces that will be used as an end product, often utilising CMS technologies such as WordPress.

Amongst competitors from both south and north Wales, I placed 1st in the first and final rounds of the 2013 WorldSkills UK competition and won the title of 1st place for website design and development in Wales. Read about it at the official WorldSkills website -https://goo.gl/QuTrRq
