About Me
Welcome to my portfolio
Introduction
Hi there, my name is John Sneddon and this is my portfolio website. I love finding out how technology works, creating websites and web applications. I have earned my BSc degree in Web aand Mobile Development and I am currently a full-time employed web developer at Spectre Creative. My other interests include weekly 7-a-side football, watching movies and watching various motorsports. In my spare time I like to brush up on my skills and watch tutorial videos. My favourite place in the world is TN, USA. I have visited there three times and cannot wait to go back.
Skills
What I have used so far
I started out learning how to do the basics with Joomla before learning basic HTML and CSS. I then learned about using front-end frameworks with Bootstrap along with more advanced HTML5 and CSS3. Afterwards I began learning more about WordPress, PHP, MySQL, Illustrator and MyphpAdmin. I already had years of self taught Photoshop experience before any web development knowledge.
Education
College, University & Online Courses
I enrolled into a Web Development and Interactive Media course with New College Lanarkshire in Motherwell where I passed all my modules and achieved a pass mark "A" in my graded unit in both my HNC and my HND year. During this time I gained my Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel specialist certificates. I love doing online courses and have completed some web related SoloLearn courses thus far.
Projects
What I have worked on
My first project was a community based website that I was a part of. It was this that made me realise which career I wanted. During college I got asked to help with VirtualKeyholes which was already a live business website. I also created an app that was aimed at helping the VRroom members with their car setups and lap times.
