Darren Mackintosh: Web Designer/Developer

A Little Something About Me

A highly skilled Front End Developer. I currently work for a large european retailer based in Milton Keynes, UK and have, along with my team, recently finished replatforming all their european websites, as well as completely re-developing them as well. I have over eighteen years professional experience with HTML, HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS3, XML, Impex and a little bit of Java, with emphasis on user interface design and accessibility. Focused on the end-user goals and interests. Autonomous, responsible, team player.

I am looking for a challenging position in a design intensive environment. Main goal is to contribute to the development of new ideas and new technologies in the relevant field. I am a hard working team player, who is always looking for new challenges. Whilst in return I can offer you a flexible, team individual with a positive “can do” attitude.

2015 - Present

I am constantly conceptualising, creating, and executing amazing design ideas. My design solutions impress and surprise and always push the boundaries, leveraging trends while solving real problems. I always apply best practice to my ideas to create something unique and effective, or eschew them to do the same. I'm always open to suggestion and sharing ideas, and enjoy sketching out my work and developing my own processes.
