Hello. My name's Jamen.

Contracting for a digital agency Absolute IT, I designed and developed an eCommerce website for Storage Choice - one of Australia's largest self storage companies, with 10 facilities across the country and a multi-million dollar annual turnover.

The project was designed using Figma and then developed using Next.js, Vercel and Strapi Headless CMS. The entire website was hand-built including a modern design system, automated testing, reusable components, bookings system and checkout.

The website includes a complex API integration with Storman, which the client uses to manage all bookings and display available storage units.

The website is also automatically translated into 10 different languages using a modern AI translation service called DeepL -

Contracting for digital agency Webplace, I worked with an enterprise client Betashares - an Australian fund management company with $50 billion in assets under management and over 1 million investors on their platform.

This included developing a large suite of reusable components, creating a design pattern library in Figma, defining coding standards and processes, implementing CI/CD deployment pipelines, performing high-traffic user tests, ensuring accurate analytics, managing client expectations and creating detailed technical documentation.

As part of this project I was also required to develop a large suite of reusable components which aligned to the Google Material Design specification, integrate with the existing BuRPS RESTful API, define coding standards, implement CI/CD deployment processes and perform real-world usability testing.
