Recent work

Below is a selection of some of the recent projects that I have been involved in. With exception to the ‘Timeline JavaScript Plugin’ (and this portfolio), various designers produced all of the designs. I was responsible for the development only.

Timeline JavaScript Plugin

A horizontal and vertical timeline plugin built in JavaScript ES6 and transpiled into ES5 via Babel.

It is library agnostic, so if jQuery is present it will register itself as a plugin. It also has various inbuilt settings which can be configured either via the API or through HTML data attributes.

This is an ongoing project, with further features and settings to be released frequently.

BMI & Mortality Calculator

An online calculator which presents the user with their BMI and their risk of mortality from various diseases based on the data they have input and the calculation data provided by an external company.

It was built as a custom theme in WordPress to allow administrators to update content around the application, as well as the figures used for the calculations.

The calculator functionality was built using JavaScript/jQuery.

Bariatric Surgery Update

An online portal allowing medical professionals to easily search for relevant publications in the bariatric surgery fieldĀ via a custom built PHP/Ajax search and filtering system.

Built as a custom WordPress theme, it allows users to keep the site content up to date themselves. An upload function also makes the monthly upload of the publication data via a CSV file quick and easy, with all publications being automatically created alongside the filtered executive summary tables.

FLOW

An online portal for managing sports courses.

This was built into Patternlab, an Atomic Design System. Elements which make up the web pages are built into atoms, molecules and organisms and these are used to prototype/build up page templates. This helps in maintaining a consistent and pattern-driven UI.

A lot of work involving JavaScript was done on the many forms throughout the site. These can be viewed by clicking on tiles such as ‘Manage Linked Accounts’ on the ‘Primary Dashboard’ page.

It was built as a custom WordPress theme with WooCommerce integrated for the Ecommerce.

The build involved custom ‘Like’ functionality on posts, as well as custom Ajax login and register screens, mega menu development and ad placement areas.

Various social media API’s were also integrated for the social feeds.
