About Ashley
A software developer, having an unbroken career of nearly 25 years, throughout all of this time I have focused on my main skill, JavaScript, and more recently, Typescript, and have worked with multiple frameworks and development models. For the last 6 years I have concentrated on the React.js framework, continually updating my knowledge to cater to changes dictated in the subsequent React versions, as well as common fullstack solutions such as Next.js
I have excellent experience of ECMAscript in general, and actively invest my time in learning and understanding other frameworks. I have in the past worked extensively with Angular.js and Angular2-8, as well numerous legacy libraries no longer commonly employed. I am fully conversant in the HTML standard, implementation of accessibility guidelines and the use of screen readers, as well as the majority of data object standards . I take an active interest in future-proofing my skill set by learning and experimenting with newer technologies.
My work has also provided me with a great deal of experience in back end development, such that I have a good understanding of languages such as Java and PHP, and I have extensive knowledge of Oracle PL/SQL, having worked on large scale data models throughout my career.
I have excellent communication skills, and am able to work with any size team. I am always attentive to detail, and remain motivated, pro-active and productive at all times, and as a senior developer I make sure to be helpful and informative when asked, and show willing when required to help others.
I look forward to all new opportunities, and am always willing to both listen and learn.
