I design and maintain websites, primarily using Umbraco and .NET. My experience includes working with clients such as Marstons Pubs, nPower, National Grid, FuelGenie, D3O, QED Environmental Systems, and more. I handle the full development stack, building frontends with Webpack, integrating them into Umbraco, configuring subscriptions and resources in Azure, and deploying through DevOps.

• Worked on multilingual websites, leveraging Umbraco's language features and extending them with a custom package that uses AI to translate content pages when editors save them.
• Led the migration of onsite DevOps and hosting to Microsoft Azure, including setting up DevOps pipelines and using Bicep files to standardize and expedite the creation of cloud infrastructure, reducing set up time from hours to minutes.
• Maintained a base project template for new site rollouts, a Visual Studio project that includes APIs for quickly creating Umbraco modules and using the Umbraco API to generate essential doctypes such as SEO, sitemaps, and modular pages.
• Designed and implemented an interactive Carbon Intensity Dashboard for National Grid, leveraging Azure Static Web Apps and a .NET backend. Integrated real-time data from National Grid APIs via Azure Functions and Cosmos DB.
• Recent sites I have worked on:
