So who is the GillCode?
The GillCode is just a anonymous name for myself, but for extra details I am Senior .Net Developer and Frontend developer. I've been working in my field for almost 9 years now with vast amounts of experience in the digital marketing environment.
Some would say I am full stack developer but have a preference for frontend development. Over recent years I have been working heavily in React based frameworks such as Next.js and Gatsby.js.
I have an interest in mobile app development, particularly with IOS development. I've been working on a few side projects building IOS apps under SwiftUI and very eager to learn more. However, at this moment of time my primary focus is frontend development and exploring more in the realms of react.
I have other interest besides development, which include gaming, gym training, exploring new tech and music. All of the above however, will come second to my main priorities which is my family.
Qualifications
During my time in education I have had the chance to learn many aspects of the world of IT, from database management, to system designs. This had led myself to further my education and to explore more through a Masters degree whilst working in web development.
At first this had been a struggle, to manage my time with both work and the demands of a Masters degree. However, I remained focused as learning is my main drive and my passion in the world of development.
Experience
I started my career as a web developer, having the opportunity to work on many projects and using different technologies during my time. From building web sites using Umbraco CMS and then extending the functionality to meet the needs of the clients. As well as building and maintaining e-commerce websites, using NopCommerce as the CMS. From working in .Net I then had the opportunity to build and maintain websites in React JS, mainly using frameworks like Gatsby JS and Next JS.
As a software developer my experience has shifted a little further away from .Net development and more focused on React JS and Electron JS.
Upcoming projects...
As I begin to explore and learn, I have put my efforts into building a few new projects which will put myself to the test of web development. I look for each project to really test myself, explore new technologies and tech stacks while documenting the process.
So what to expect in the up and coming future.
Well the next project on the horizon is the vstronaut.com website build, which will be going under development fairly soon. I will also keep yourselves up to date, with regular blogs about this project as it will be a very interesting and interactive build.
I have plans for an IOS app which will come with its own web build. This will be built under the name of Grvpe and again this will really test my development capabilities.
