Work Experience

Publicis.Sapient - Manager, Experience Technology Sep 2018 - Present At Publicis.Sapient my role is to identify and analyse detailed requirements to provide clients with technical solutions to drive growth and efficiency. Providing outcomes that meet clients’ business objectives through experience technology. As part of a highly creative and technically innovative development team, my responsibilities include leading the front end team in building websites for various clients. Participating in a hands-on application development effort within client’s offices for various web-based and FinTech businesses.

In addition, my responsibilities include designing continuous integration pipelines, front end technical and hosting architectures, and staff management. Conducting interviews and mentoring other engineers in application development and best practices, resolving issues and removing project barriers for clients and internal teams.

Sequence - Senior Front End Developer Oct 2017 - Sep 2018 I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to join an award-winning creative agency, that I have always admired due to the design and technical work they produce. My role involves supporting and developing existing and new client websites. With a senior level of experience, I provide insight and feedback, as needed, to improve codebases and technical approaches to projects. My fundamental knowledge of JavaScript has given me the ability to take on the varied and challenging technical stacks with ease. I constantly strive to improve my knowledge and skill set within new areas, such as KnockoutJS and Umbraco.

Kagool - Lead Front End Developer Oct 2014 - Jun 2017 At Kagool, I had a challenging but enjoyable role as a Lead Front End Developer. This role was exciting and rewarding as my responsibilities included developing, supporting, estimating and requirements gathering for large companies, multinational corporations and not for profit charities. I was also fortunate to have gained experience in code reviewing and educating my peers on new and emerging technologies through presentations or staff meetings.

With Kagool being a platinum Sitecore partner, I developed complex websites that adhered to modern-day development practices but also meeting Sitecore’s best practices, working around the constraints and quirks of the CMS.

I have always been passionate about continuously improving my skill set and knowledge base, learning the latest technologies and language trends within the web and application development industry.

After discussing with my seniors and mentors in Kagool, we sadly agreed that my current position could no longer offer me the platform to progress to a level I was seeking. I enjoyed my time at Kagool and I am very appreciative of the opportunities they have given me. However, I left seeking a company that is always looking to progress and improve, constantly learning from each member of the team.

Contract/Freelance Web Developer Dec 2013 - Oct 2014 I worked as a freelance web developer for a number of varied clients. This included companies such as estate agents, local restaurants and creative agencies. With this varied workload, I encountered a number of challenges; the need to switch between languages, a good mentality for overcoming difficulties and a level of sales and finance management. This role also required a great deal of self-management, setting and meeting client expectations and adapting to different work environments.

KMS Components - Front End Developer Feb 2013 - Dec 2013 While working at Sotic, I was recruited and offered a great opportunity to work for KMS. I was responsible for overseeing all front-end web development, working directly with the graphic designers, marketing, sales and video production teams, along with the company directors. I ensured all websites functioned as expected and provided good user experience while achieving all their individual objectives and requirements.

Although the position was incredibly exciting, fulfilling and provided a lot of responsibility, KMS was sadly declared bankrupt. This provided me with the motivation to take on new challenges and become a freelance developer.

Sotic - Web Developer Oct 2012 - Feb 2013 At Sotic, I worked as a web developer. My responsibilities involved working within a team to build RedDot (CMS) websites for a number of sports clubs and stadiums. My role primarily focused on building the HTML components to meet the specifications and requirements of the design team.

TOM EVANS Front End & Node.js Developer

Personal Achievements University Course Representative Within my second year of University, I was appointed course representative by my fellow coursemates. This role helped me to refine my communication skills. I expressed student concerns to faculty members and as a result they were able to make changes to the course content and structure to improve the delivery and uptake. In addition, I provided support to students by helping them through challenging times.

Ice Hockey During my Ice Hockey career, I was able to achieve some of the highest standards in UK ice hockey. I competed internationally in the European Championships for Team England and played for the Cardiff Devils within the ENL and Elite League teams.

Roller Hockey I was selected to play for the Welsh national team and capped for two seasons. Within my 2nd year, I was very proud to be elected as Team Captain.

Sabbatical In 2015, my employer allowed me to take a sabbatical, which taught me a lot of life lessons. My girlfriend and I spent 5 months in the French alps skiing and on return we purchased an old luton van, converting it into an off the grid flat on wheels. We then spent the next few months travelling Europe, having some of the best times of our lives!
