In my time at Weaveability I have had the most hands on experience in my line of work yet. I have built the front-end of four responsive websites that one has gone live and three are about to. All that are built in LESS. Building these sites involves using the application SAP, which is used to build and run websites using XML, I have come to grips with the basics of XML by editing and creating XML transformations myself to build what I have built.

I joined Space 48 as a junior front end developer as Better Bathrooms was Space 48's client, which made more sense for me to work for them. Also my manager was leaving the company.
I learned a great amount of knowledge from the developers and helped them with various different websites and projects, however as my knowledge grew in web development I came to realize Magento was not for me so decided to take a different approach.
