MStrutt.co.uk

The personal portfolio site of Michael Strutt, a 21 year old front-end web developer based in London. At present I am on an industrial placement as a User Experience Developer with MICROS eCommerce. This is part of the Computer Science degree I am studying at Loughborough University.

As is my way, I've made all of the website from the ground up, using only a couple of third-party libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr. Please feel free to view the source code and see how I do what I do best, it will probably give a better representation of my skills than any content I could put on the site anyway.

Skills

• HTML5
• CSS3
• LESS (CSS framework)
• JavaScript
• jQuery (JavaScript library)
• PHP
• MySQL
• Implementing Responsive Designs
• Wireframing with Axure

A little history

I have been making websites since I was about 13; steadily upgrading and improving as my skills progress. Up until late 2009, when I started at University, I was completely self-taught.

In 2007 I purchased my first domain (mstrutt.co.uk) and migrated all of my previously free-hosted sites onto subdomains of this. This move gave me a lot more freedom to progress and expand as I pleased, and today is still an excellent platform for my creativity.

More recently I have been working freelance on projects for friends, family, and small businesses. Then in the summer of 2011 I moved to London to take up my job as a User Experience Developer with MICROS eCommerce.
