Hello,
I'm Alex Dring.
A full-stack web developer, based in Bristol.
I’ve recently completed University of Helsinki’s Full Stack Open - the main focus on building single page applications with ReactJS that use REST APIs built with Node.js. I'm currently looking for a role in that field!
Get in touchAbout me
I got started in the web development world by offerring websites to small business owners, initially using pre-made WordPress themes and page builders, I quickly moved on to developing custom websites, built from the ground up.
I’ve worked with clients from ideation through to launch. Going through their needs and requirements, creating a design in Figma/Photoshop and then developing a custom website that's perfectly suited to their needs and requirements.
Some technologies I've been working with recently:
- JavaScript
- React
- Node.js
- Express.js
- Gatsby
- Heroku
- HTML & CSS
- Netlify
Things I've made
Below are a few examples of work completed for clients and personal projects.
Corsham Office Rentals
- React
- Gatsby
- GraphQL
- Sanity CMS
- Tailwind CSS
- Netlify
A Jamstack web application developed for an office/studio rentals company based in Corsham, UK.
The client wanted the ability to add, remove and edit pages/page sections on the fly so a page builder was built using Sanity CMS.
Site to be officially launched and deployed to a custom domain 12th April 2022
Spicy Orange Database
- React
- React Query
- Node.js
- Express.js
- Heroku
- Auth0
- OMDB api
- Styled Components
A film, tv and game review website created for my friends and I. Users can search for any piece of media that exists on the Internet Movie Database and add it to a list of recommendations for other users to save to their watchlist or review.
Multi Venue Project
- WordPress
- ACF
A custom theme developed for one of the UK's leading event promoters. Working closely with their head of ticketing I developed website the integrated their new ticketing system. It featured a hero component that displayed the most viewed event over the past hour. The theme was deployed to 9 different venues across the country. A focus was made to improve page load time, the previous site took 9+seconds to full load, the new one taking just under 2.
