Freelance Digital Developer
Skills
Ok after my overzealous attempt at my "About Me" page I'll try and keep this brief. Below are some of my core skills. I have omitted a few that I might have included 5 years ago, some that my skill level isn't above 50% yet and some that I just missed.
I'm more excited about the new skills I can add in the coming years. Like continuing to expand my Mobile knowledge and while I can read C++ it’s on my goal list to create my very own ANE's(Air Native Extension). That said if you had told me 1-2 years ago I'd be creating animated videos I might have given you a strange look.
I love to be working back in gaming UI in the meantime I have to enjoy coding my own mobile Apps/Games
What Client’s Say
David’s the kind of front end developer who you give your brilliant ideas and scripts too, and he gets it, develops it and makes it better. David takes a lot of pride in his work and the results speak for themselves. Work with him and you will see what I mean.
David has worked on various projects for The Learning Hook, such as higher-end full online course designs and builds, client communication pieces using visual storytelling, along with many rich media opening animations that we use in other online course. His understanding of briefs, ability to work with a wider team, wicked sense of humour and dedication to deadlines makes working with him a breeze. I really couldn’t recommend him more highly, I just hope his freelance work doesn’t get so busy he doesn’t have time for us!
David's professionalism, skills and commitment to his projects are outstanding! We were most fortunate in having David work for us on a complex, interactive app for Health Care professionals and patients, and he delivered an outstanding product that met all requirements of the spec, on-time and within budget. A true professional who will give the 'extra' required! I fully endorse his skills and services.
To be a volunteer at Matang, it is essential that one is able to work as part of a team, both with fellow volunteers and other employees at the centre. David showed himself to be a competent team player, and worked well with many different people. His enthusiasm was constant, regardless of the task set, and he had energy for all jobs, however hard they were.
Since his time at Matang, David has been a very useful, on-call, tech assistant for any issues that arise with our website in particular, or any other IT malfunctions we may have. David continues to fulfil this role for us, completely voluntarily, and provides very useful remote assistance to our endeavours.
We've worked with David on a number of occasions, particularly because he is incredibly fast, proactive and truly owns the project he manages. The best part, it comes back right, the first time, without any sacrifice for quality! He just gets it. We can't recommend his services enough.
David is a great addition to anyone’s team when you need a developer with hybrid skills. I admire his hunger for learning new skills and he is definitely not afraid of challenges.
He deals well with stressful situations and does not let his pokerface fall even in the toughest moments during production. Happy to recommend him and looking forward to working with him again in the future.
David has a wide skill set that can be difficult to find amongst developers. We’ve worked together for several years across a range of projects, but more recently through Rock Agency developing Mobile Applications for both iOS and Android platforms. His level of work is always at an industry leading standard. Couple that with a high level of professionalism and approachable manner and you have a freelancer that I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending.
