CHARLIE BENNETT E-Commerce Director at Berry Bros. & Rudd Ltd :: linkedin.com/in/bennetc

“Very high-quality work and when there were back-end problems within the Hybris platform, Craig showed fantastic resilience and adaptability to think on his feet and provide a solution to the front-end side to make sure they were compatible.

His role was fully client facing and he made sure that every duty he performed was approved by us via his fantastic communicational skills. He was fantastic in making the new designs and also ensuring that they were compatible within our internal systems.

This was a Hybris re-platforming project where he performed tasks such as cleaning up and designing the back-end hybris code and creating approved graphic designs. Applying the graphic designs for the different areas of the project and making sure that it is possible to perform these within the Hybris environment.

Craig showed real commitment by staying late some days during the week to make sure the project was completed on time. Craig is committed and dedicated and 100% reliable and remained calmed and controlled at all times. He has a good eye for detail and has a strong creative mindset as well as excellent technical knowledge.

Also a nice guy to work with! ”

EVA POLAKI Website PPC & SEO Manager at Berry Bros. & Rudd Ltd :: linkedin.com/in/polakie

“Craig, in the capacity of our Lead Front-end / UI Developer worked seamlessly and collaborative with the platform developers, the project manager and several key internal stakeholders to develop and deploy the design of the new website.

He successfully delivered front-end code across the website with elements of responsive design using solid HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript/JQuery and with excellent skills on Eclipse, SourceTree, Git and Mercurial.

He also delivered training of the Content Management Systems (WCMS) to other key staff in the web site team. Craig was able to grasp quickly and efficiently the fundamentals of this new platform, and he demonstrated excellent communication skills in explaining technical details to non-technical business users.

He always stayed calm, positive, and supportive and focused in the face of tight deadlines. He managed a very complex UI development process with persistence, professionalism and dedication.”
