A very unique & interesting place to work (the office is actually located in the same building as the main stage), I was the first Front End Developer to join the digital development team and was involved in all aspects of the website redesign project.

Software, skills & technology used:

  • CSS 3
  • BEM
  • JavaScript
  • JSON
  • React
  • Redux
  • redux-saga
  • react-helmet
  • React Router
  • Babel

  • styled-components
  • Storybook
  • Enzyme

Most recent achievements:

  • Increased engagement and sign-ups by 11% via the new website pages and improvements that were made

  • Decreased the average page speed of the old site from eight seconds down to just over two with the use of the new components/pages

  • Took part in user observations and research which allowed us to tweak the new website components and pages based on actual user feedback

What I have worked on:
