Profile
My name is James Sheen and I am an experienced web developer with an almost five-year strong background. In this time I’ve been able to nurture a decent knowledge of all aspects of the practice, particularly concerning elements of front and back end development.
My enthusiasm for development is well-rounded and of many disciplines: I love both the logic and structure of the back end, but equally aspire to make my projects look amazing in any browser on the front end.
I’m a strong worker individually or as part of a team, and am always happy to help others with their tasks. Whatever the challenge, I diligently pursue a great finished product and work hard to create it.

I currently have just over 5 years of commercial experience at Web Development Agencies developing responsive and dynamic websites and applications. Through these agencies I have developed a broad knowledge of PHP, HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.
I am proficient in building bespoke WordPress themes which are both responsive and highly customisable. I have also built large, custom and scalable web applications using various javascript frameworks such as Angular and Knockout.
