Hello
I’m Kieran Heron
24 Brisbane Street
Glasgow, Scotland--
Introduction
A highly focused web developer with 5+ years’ experience in a variety of development and design
positions. Organised, methodical and a keen eye for detail results in solid coding standards and
beautiful websites. Understanding client requirements and communicating the progress of projects
are core values in achieving long lasting business relationships. I am very organized person and I try
to keep everything in the correct place. Working as a team comes second nature to me but I can also
work on my own and I make sure that I give 110% in everything that I do. Designing and
Development is not only a job, it’s a passion and I love nothing more than coming up with an idea or
being given an idea and having a working prototype live for everyone to enjoy. Strong
communicator with the ability to communicate ideas clearly to clients and colleague.
Experience
JANUARY 2018 - AUGUST 2018
Senshi Digital, Glasgow - Website Developer
Working with the already established team, we build bespoke websites for the tourism
industry. Working mainly with the Concrete5 CMS, we created unique and secure
integrations with payment gateways such as TourCMS. Along with this, I was also the point
of contact for server related issues, such as security and downtime. I maintained our
multiple servers and even deployed new servers when needed. In August, the development
agency side of Senshi was sold to another company, and after this I thought it best to part
ways with the brand as the role I moved into was not suited to my skills and needs to grow
as a developer.
FEBRUARY 2017 - JANUARY 2018
EDMCORE, Glasgow - Software Development & Support Engineer
Working on a range of products as a full stack developer. Developing client websites, mobile
applications and web applications for a range of clients. I was also in charge of dealing with
all the support requests from our sub-company SalonFirst. I left ECMCORE to pursue
bigger and better challenges as a developer.

NOVEMBER 2016 - FEBRUARY 2017
MyServerGuy, Glasgow - Linux System Administrator and Security Engineer
Working with a range of clients through the process of deploying new linux servers for a
range of products, to migrating old products to new servers. I was in charge of security of
our servers and spent a lot of my time patching software and setting up new firewalls. After
the Christmas period, the company changed too much and I was no longer happy with the
working environment, so decided to part ways with MyServerGuy to see what else was out
there at the time.
JUNE 2013 - NOVEMBER 2016
Freelance, Glasgow - Full stack developer and System Administrator
After leaving school, I became a freelance full-stack developer and system administrator.
Working with a range of clients from small bloggers, to larger companies looking to rebuild
their e-commerce websites, I worked with them to not only design and build the new
websites, but also maintain the many servers related to these websites. After a bit of a dry
spell of clients, I found it hard to find new clients, so I then decided it was best to start
looking for a role full time in a company, and that is where I joined MyServerGuy.
