Craig Sparks 12271 Chicago Rd Jerome, MI 49249 Objective Self starting programmer with extensive knowledge of many technologies and libraries. As a freelance/contract developer, have created solutions for sports odds using software built from the ground up on a solid framework. Later was able to work on a large network of Wordpress sites which required the use of PHP, Python and MySQL to create reliable reusable solutions to common problems. I look forward to using and learning additional tools and technology in the future to help overcome problems and obstacles in projects big or small. --Skype: csparks1982 References available on request EXPERIENCE Senior Developer, Somepage.com 2019 - 2020 Worked with a team to redevelop Laravel backend system using GraphQL which powered an React based website and app. Accomplishments ● ● ● Built out curbside delivery system with automated call-in system Rebuilt API using GraphQL Built out features of the React based website Senior Developer and Project Manager, iAdvantage 2010 - 2019 Led development of Lines.com from the ground up.
