In 2018, I received a citizen’s award for my actions during a school trip to Bristol. After witnessing a mugging, a friend and I quickly stepped in to assist the victim, contacted the police, and ensured the return of her bag. We were commended for our quick thinking and bravery.

In my role as a Full Stack Developer at Euro Axle, I have been working on a wide variety of tasks such as undertaking development of a completely overhauled website for the company ahead of them starting a new year of trade. Supplementary to this, I completed a marketing push for the company aiming to make the trade more aware of their parts and services before they launched to ensure a constant influx of orders and new customers. On the back of my marketing push, the company is enjoying their best first quarter numbers in the last 11 years including forming partnerships with several large companies in the trade on the back of my marketing push.

I have also been consulting with the leading director of the company over design of an overhauled website for the company, designed with user experience in the forefront of my mind. The site is being developed around a RESTful API, purpose built to deliver information on their range of products including dimensions, description content and CAD drawings to the site. The intention is for the API to be put into a production state, and access to be given to trade resellers as an easy way for them to retrieve product information for their reselling purposes (such as for creating listings on e-commerce platforms).

I am working on the site mainly using Node.JS with express for the backend and React.JS for the front end, considering some use of Next.JS for server-side rendering if necessary (haven’t gotten to a point where it’s been needed as of yet, so this is still a backburner thought).

As part of the site, I have been tasked with designing and implementing a CAD drawing exchange system, used to exchange diagrams portraying dimensions of made to measure parts (such as trailer axles) to give the client a visual representation of the product they’re ordering, that they can accept and pay for in real time without the need to call the Euro Axle office and go through the confirmation and payment phases over the

I undertook this position on a voluntary basis after helping a friend who runs a local youth club when they were a volunteer down. I saw how they tracked all of their income sources and inventory using a paper system and saw that their jottings and financial numbers were often lost.

I offered my services to, voluntarily, design and develop a POS and inventory tracking system for the charity to track income from multiple channels and to keep track of inventory (namely things such as food and drink that were being purchased in large quantities to ensure there wasn't anything going missing and to help inform decisions when it came to making purchase orders) Following completion of development I worked on user acceptance of my solution and went on to maintain the solution whilst I still had the time to spare to complete the work.

My solution could calculate profit margins and produce sales reports. When items were low stock (when they passed a predefined replenishment point) an email would be generated and sent with a replenishment list of items to be ordered that could then be sent to any of the trustees to be actioned.

There were separate menus for all of the different tasks that could need to be complete including a stock management menu (where stock could be added to the system or written off) an item configuration menu (where new items could be added or existed items changed, altering things such as price, replenishment point or cost) and a POS menu (where sales data could be entered).

The solution was protected and managed by a login system with different user access levels, with administrators able to create and configure user accounts. This allowed access control over certain features (such as creating / removing products and accessing financial reports). There was also logging of all completed actions to a database of actions, with the active user's user ID recorded along with the logged action.
