Web Development

Charanjit Chana

My name is Charanjit Chana and I am a web developer with over 7 years of commercial experience, currently working as the ScrumMaster and Lead Web Applications Developer in an agile team at Hornbill. Over the last 7 years, I have built web sites and web applications in all shapes and sizes for commercial, creative and small businesses. I enjoy working in organised teams and with a range of front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery as well as working with PHP, MVC frameworks and MySQL.

I have a keen interest in user experience and user interface design & implementation. I work to modern web standards as well as striving for cross browser compatibility, accessibility and delivering semantic markup and following best practices for SEO.

I have had the pleasure of working for some great agencies and corporations since graduating from Kingston University. They include Monkeehouse (now part of Rainmaker), XM London (now part of Ogilvy), Sky and now, Hornbill.

My personal projects include a popular PHP class that interacts with Nike+, a currency conversion tool and a jQuery plugin that stacks letters.

I enjoy working in a MAMP/LAMP environment, building attractive, functional and accessible websites. I also enjoy writing code that has been unit tested and making regular releases.
