Skills: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML5, JSON, iOS, Titanium (Appcelerator), PhoneGap, BlackBerry Webworks, Troubleshooting.
Im am a freelance front end developer based in Brighton. My main skills are XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery and mobile development. I am also happy to troubleshoot code and CSS to solve problems in other developers' projects.
I am presently doing a lot of mobile development. My first iPhone app, currently available on the App store, is called dbug. It allows you to view CSS and HTML on nearly any website on the iPhone. People tell me that they understand what it does better when I say it is like 'firebug for iPhone'.
I can help with custom jQuery code, custom JavaScript code, Ajax, form validation and troubleshooting CSS, Javascript and jQuery. I can modify jQuery plug-ins, write custom animations and web application logic with jQuery.
I also use my JavaScript and front end skills for developing in iOS, Titanium (Appcelerator) and PhoneGap.
Examples of what I am asked to do:
- Port a PhoneGap iOS project to Blackberry mobile OS
- Create/edit mobile apps for iOS, Android and BlackBerry OS
- Troubleshooting JavaScript in a Facebook application.
- Setting up jQuery UI controls and date pickers.
- Fixing problems in jQuery with content sliders.
- HTML5 web site with audio and video players.
- Covert designs to XHTML and CSS.
- Complicated forms with integrated user help.
- Assist building the front end of a Groovy application.
- Updating CSS and clearing out unused rules on a large ruby web application.
- JavaScript calculators and front end adjustment in Shopify.
