Role: Front End Developer
Front end developer in an agile(SCRUM) environment using JIRA ticketing system for project management.
Working on a migrating old and building new websites on Wordpress CMS using newest technologies.
We started migration using PHP, Twig & Timber frameworks along with jQuery and JavaScript but at certain point as we started receiving new features/pages requests we started using AngularJS, vanilla JavaScript and ReactJS more frequently. Along with implementing new technologies we have moved towards SCRUM and started using it on a daily basis. We worked of two week sprints, with Product owner setting priorities and SCRUM master making sure we follow SCRUM ceremonies.
One of the most recent projects that we published was Branch Locator built with ReactJS.

I was a support developer on this project as I have never worked with ReactJS before.
Along with branch locator I am part of an ongoing project Forms which holds all of Bank of Ireland forms. On a daily basis, I am building new forms and fields using PHP,SCSS, JS and Gravity Forms.
We are currently working on re-designing forms and this is our first re-designed form:
