Tyrone Thompson
Web Developer, CMS Expert, UI and UX Developer
About Me
I am a highly motivated and resourceful web developer, committed to delivering exceptional results across all facets of my work. With a keen focus on problem-solving, I possess a particular affinity for tackling complex UX and UI challenges. With a solid background in web application design and development spanning over 14 years, I have successfully delivered projects across diverse sectors, including marketing, call center, e-commerce, government associations, travel, and sports, as well as mobile application development.
As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to apply my skills and experience to a challenging and fulfilling role that leverages my expertise in UX development and web design. Specifically, I am keen on positions that combine design and code in a leadership capacity, with a preference for PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) over Native development. Overall, I am confident that my education and professional background make me an excellent candidate for the roles that require a jack of all trades, and I am excited about the prospect of contributing to a dynamic and forward-thinking team.
