My position here as web developer was initially to work on a major revamp of one their web sites. I enhanced a couple of their current sites using C# and VB.NET 2010 and SQL Server. Although formerly being taken on to ‘enhance’ their sites I then went on to design and develop one of their new sites in PHP and MySQL. I managed the entire life-cycle, which was launched in January 2017. The company employs over 50 people with a team of three managing their IT systems. The location of the premises and the building itself are amazing and only 2 miles away from my home so I was very pleased to take the opportunity to work there to cover a period of ‘maternity absence’. My time with RWH is now drawing to a close which leads me to look for a suitable job before my contract terminates.

I worked as a full-time web developer. My duties involved maintaining and enhancing their internal application, which the operators used to process masses of data provided by customers on daily basis. I was the only IT person in the office working with 4 admins and 4 operators. I therefore maintained the hardware, the PC applications and fixed issues whenever necessary. The biggest challenge was to maintain a large database so it does not go offline or lose any data. I used PHP to generate many PDF automatically to report statistics about the data processed for the customers. I also work on the company website.
