2019 - 2020 | I spent 2019 and 2020 working on personaly projects as well as freelance projects. Here are some of the projects I worked on during this time frame.

Project 1 : Business Website

The first project I worked on was a website for my freelancing business. I decided that I needed a way to advertise my services, and so I developed Xaultron. A business website for my web development services at the time

Project 2 : Care Home Website

The second project I worked on was a website for a client who had just opened up a care home for the elderly and needed a digital footprint for her business. This project threw me in the deep end; It was a little too big for me at the time, but looking back in hindsight, I lived up to my client's expectations and simultaneously managed to exceed my own. I learnt on the job and managed to submit the project as well as all revisions before the agreed deadline. Here are some of the responsibilities I undertook for this project :

• Branding : Logo Design
• Web Design
• Web Development
• Writing company privacy policy documents
• Setting up the domain
• Setting up the web hosting

Project 3 : Job Application Form

The third project I worked on was through a referral from my above mentioned client. This project was for a fully validated form for a client who owned a care agency and wanted job applications to be done online as his agency was beginning to grow exponentially. I designed & developed a HTML & CSS form, and validated it using Javascript. I also worked on ensuring that upon submission, all details will be sent to the admin's email as an attachament using a few lines of of Node JS
