Thomas Bird

I have a diverse skillset complemented by having worked in a wide range of environments ranging from large teams to small teams and freelance work. This diversity has helped me understand the web development process from start to finish having held many roles with multiple skill sets ranging from client services, design, front end and backend programming.

My primary focus is front end development, but more specifically the latest standards and cross browser compliancy. My latest endeavors have been responsive design, parallax scrolling, css transitions & animations and use of jQuery to create plugins to handle complex user interaction. Use of images combined with jQuery to create movie like animations through 100’s of shots that animate seamlessly to create highly interactive applications without use of flash or other movies.

I’ve created sophisticated web apps to help my clients manage complex process flows and increase productivity by bringing multiple processes and building a web application to handle all of those requirements.

Specialties: front end development, user interaction / process flow, standards compliancy, JavaScript, jQuery, html5, css3, responsive design & programming, storyboarding.
