Recently my experience is in ASP.Net Framework in C# with SQL Server, jQuery, DevExpress, Agile on a very tight team with a very small company based near Cambridge, UK
I’ve also been recently volunteering with a EdTech startup in the Open Source OpenEdx community. This was building React micro-frontends. I’m always interested in gaining more React experience!
I have had a lot of short contract work which is due to circumstances to do with child care. I have always looked for permanent work but found employers were not interested in remote working.
At present I am available for full-time employment as well should things work out.
