French Connection

Responsible for all development projects for the French Connection group which included several websites for FCUK, FCUS, FCCA and Great Plains. I interviewed, provided feedback and hired a number of junior front end developers during my tenure at French Connection, I mentored and supported them with 1:1 meetings to allow them to grow and develop into great engineers. I also worked very closely with the content, design & SEO teams whilst also working with our external back-end partner and various third-parties such as Qubit, Reevoo, and Feefo.
