My Job

My main responsibilities include designing, developing and maintaining the website in Wordpress. Site's performance and SEO are constantly being improved by optimising the images, text contents and meta data on the site.

I am also in charge of online marketing and advertising. Whenever there is a campaign, e.g. Valentine's Day, it is important to increase website traffic by advertising on social media and Google.

My Job

In this job, my client has already chosen a theme so my job is basically just to finish the setup in WordPress including setting up the eCommerce with PayPal.

The most challenging part is to customise the theme's components since it doesn't provide too much flexibility out of the box.

Company

Zippity is a job searching platform for people who are looking for retail or hospitality jobs. Rather than just purely focusing on the skills matching, Zippity also takes workplace culture and candidate's personality into consideration.

My Job

I worked as a technical lead in Zippity. My jobs included managing the server hosting, code deployment, back-end implementation and front end development.

It was an awesome and challenging experience to work in a startup environment. Different from working at enterprise where people will tell you exactly what to do or build. In a startup, you will need to be more self-driven and have more responsibilities. I also learnt a lot from a business perspective since I was heavily involved in different business decision marking processes including advertising and marketing strategy planning.

My Job

In this company, I worked as a Full Stack web developer. I was responsible for all partnership websites and life products. My responsibilities included maintaining the old applications that were written in JSTL. I was also involved in building the new Income Protection website with new tech stacks such as Angular, Webpack and Jest. For back-end, I needed to build the API in Java using the Spring framework.

The technologies used in Budget Direct were really up-to-date and that gave me a lot of opportunities to explore the latest tech stacks. For example, apart from web development, I could also play around with the Bamboo CI server and Iridium Integration Testing.

Company

Flight Centre is Australia's leading travel agent, offering cheap flights (domestic and international), holiday packages, cruises, ski holidays, last minute hotel deals, travel insurance and much more.

My Job

Developed and maintained the Flight Centre Australia website using Drupal. My responsibilities included building front-end components using jQuery, React and Sass. I also worked on the Drupal back-end to create API endpoints and custom Drupal modules such as the enquiry form.

Working in Flight Centre was such a great experience for me since I could work closely with the UI/UX designers for different new features or projects. I was involved in things like A/B testing which allowed me to learn a lot about user behaviour and how web design can greatly affect the leads generations, sales and revenue of a business.
