Darren Hall

I’m a freelance frontend developer based in Manchester.

With over 13 years of commercial experience I develop responsive, performant and accessible websites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I work extensively with Gulp and Grunt to automate and optimise build processes. I frequently use Travis CI and have also used Jenkins and TeamCity for continuous integration and deployment.

Test Driven Development

Mocha and Chai are my go to test tools, but I have also used Jasmine and Karma. I have some experience using BackstopJS to create automated visual regression tests.

Experienced with WordPress and Craft CMS

I have previously worked with extensively with WordPress, and more recently with Craft CMS. My previous work as an Object-Oriented PHP developer with CakePHP, CodeIgniter and Symfony allows me to get the most out of these systems.

Sitecore and Umbraco friendly

Many of the projects I have worked on in the last few years used a .NET CMS, and I am skilled at working with both Sitecore and Umbraco. I am adept at integrating Razor templates and have a working knowledge of editing controllers and tests.

Currently available from May
