During my time at Fastwarm Ltd (Mar–Jun 2025), I worked as a Web Developer contributing to the ongoing development and optimisation of their Laravel-based eCommerce platform. My focus was on enhancing existing pages, improving mobile responsiveness, and designing reusable components using Blade and SASS (BEM).
I also delivered dynamic sale elements using Vue.js, contributed to SEO-driven content updates, and collaborated with the wider team to integrate marketing tools and manage product data via SQL. This role strengthened my confidence in Laravel conventions, responsive UI, and real-world backend workflows.
