Online portfolio of Andy Fairlie

I am a Front End Web Developer with 6 years of experience, specialising in Website development, User experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design. I like to design websites that use a browser's full capabalities, but gracefully degrade for older browsers.

I have designed and coded websites small and large, from brochure level to large corporate portals as well as eCommerce sites.

I am skilled in managing web projects from conception to finish, involving myself in all stages of development from preliminary Information Architecture, wireframing, user experience mapping, and visual design; through to coding and site development in cutting edge web technologies such as HTML5, jQuery and CSS3.

I ensure that all my work is accessible to AA standards, as well as valid to W3C specifications. I work to tight deadlines with confidence, and have always made myself integral to the companies I have worked for. I am sociable and friendly and great to have around the office.


Skillset

HTML5 logo

My core skillset is HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery, with a dash of PHP and a pinch of mySQL for added measure. I am a capable pixer blender and feel right at home with Photoshop and Dreamweaver.

I have worked with several CMS platforms, notably Wordpress, Drupal and VerseOne CMS.

Personal

Music

I don't code websites all the time, I like to play bass guitar in my band, watch live gigs and travel as much as I can. I like meeting new people and enjoy socialising over weekends.
