Joe Barton

I'm an enthusiastic and professional web designer, developer and artist. I have 6 years commercial experience as a web designer, developer and software engineer, and have been developing websites and software personally since around 1998. I have also studied computing, fine art and graphics and enjoy creating traditional and digital art as well as working in other creative areas such as music and fashion. I am quick to grasp new ideas and concepts and have a strong interest in reading about new developments and keeping up with the latest trends and technologies.

Web Developer / Software Engineer

Software Systems Europe Ltd, Full-Time

• As part of a small development and support team delivering solutions to small and medium sized businesses, my role was mainly the design and development of websites and bespoke software for clients including manufacturing control, work study, furniture design, time and attendance, human resources and medical legal systems.
• This role involved visiting clients to consult their needs and plan specifications as well as give advice on how IT systems and websites would benefit their businesses. This has given me strong knowledge of how many different industries operate down to the finest detail, gaining the ability to adapt and provide solutions for any individual clients needs. Some examples include; clothing and textiles manufacturing, furniture design and manufacturing, food production and medical legal agencies.
• As part of the IT systems I was also required to provide server/network installation and maintenance, and training sessions for users on how to use the systems developed by the company.
• Upon visiting clients I travelled nationally and internationally to places such as Morocco, France, as well as all around the UK.
