Experience

I'm currently working with Arekibo on Dublin's Herbert Street as a web designer. For the last 7 months I have been outsourced from Arekibo to work with one of their major clients the ESB. I'm currently working as part of the ESB head office web team looking after sites such as ESB.ie, esb ecars, ESBI.ie, esbie.ie, rmdservice.com as well as the company intranet.

My previous work experience was working as a web designer and front end developer in Clearscape web design for 2 years where I worked on both static and cms sites such as Cogg, McLoughlins B2B, CEL and Well Done Mum. My role in Clearscape included responsibilities from designing concepts right through to HTML/CSS build and client training.

Before that I was a Junior Web Designer with saongroup, the umbrella company for sites such as IrishJobs.ie, NIJobs.com, MyJobGroup, CaribbeanJobs.com, Jobs.ie, Jobs.lu, CandidateManager.net and RecruitGulf.com. During this time I received the 2007 IIA Net Visionary Award for 'Web Designer Excellence'.

Key Skills

In front-end development I've worked with a combination of languages such as XHTML, CSS, PHP, XML and .NET in both static and CMS/Wordpress integrations.

Interests

One of my major passions in life is hockey. I'm an active member of Botanic Hockey Club Glasnevin and play on the 1st team in the club. I've spent much of the past 8 years as a member coaching the younger children in the club and being on the committee. I've recently taken up the post of coaching a senior team, the 3rd team in the club. I also run the club's website botanichockeyclub.com.
