Summary

As a full-time Digital Marketer and Web Developer for the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia, I lead the management of the official website and subscriber portal, ensuring dynamic updates and the integration of systems and features. My role involves building and optimizing a system for managing the subscriber database using a blend of custom forms, web APIs, Zapier, and Airtable, which streamlines the process of subscriber signups, payments, renewals, and expiries.

Leveraging the skills acquired through the University of Adelaide coding bootcamp, I have furthered my expertise as a full-stack developer. My projects now utilize a technology stack which includes MySQL & Sequelize ORM for database management, along with Node.js and Express.js for backend development, complemented by a React-based front end. This comprehensive skill set enables me to create RESTful APIs and develop polished, user-centric applications. All projects executed through out this course required Github version control and AGILE project management methodologies.

Before the commencement of my studies, I performed freelance web development congruently with my full time role. These projects involved building complex front-end forms and fixes and supporting them by developing PHP Wordpress functions.
