Welcome!
I’m Kris, a developer focused on frontend engineering, Azure integration, and Power Platform solutions.
This site gives you a little detail about my work, the systems I’ve built, and the technologies I specialise in.
Ill try not to be too boring, but if you want to know more or just say hi, feel free to reach out!
About Me
I’ve always been drawn to the kind of work where you take something complicated and make it simple. After 25 years in IT support and infrastructre helping end users, that’s what led me into frontend development (making better user guidance and later tools), and moving into Azure integrations and Power Platform solutions.
Ive seen many a scenario where a simple tool could bridge gaps and make peoples lives easier. Over the years I’ve built everything from student‑facing apps to internal APIs and automation that keep teams moving and data flowing. I enjoy solving problems, improving processes, and building tools that make people’s jobs easier.
When I’m not coding, I’m usually tinkering with side projects, learning new frameworks, experimenting with PC game development or diving into whatever topic has grabbed my attention that week.
Im not afraid to admit when im not confident in a technology or have never seen it before, but I’m always eager to dive in and learn!
Skills
Developed responsive, accessible frontends for a student mobile app, staff intranet, and multiple web apps using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React and Lit — building clean, maintainable UI components and layouts.
Designed and delivered Azure‑based integrations using APIM, Logic Apps, Key Vault, Redis, and OAuth app registrations. Built APIs that execute custom workflows, shape and return data, and connect systems such as timetabling, student records, attendance, and internal services.
Designed and delivered solutions using Power Apps and Power Automate to streamline business processes and improve productivity. Built helpdesk diagnostic tools, document‑delivery portals, degree‑calculation apps, and job‑booking systems used across a university
Experienced with Microsoft Office administration, including SharePoint Online and Teams. Managed a SharePoint‑based staff intranet, overseeing site structure, content updates, permissions, and day‑to‑day administration across the organisation.
During my time in Education support roles, I gained experience with IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms, particularly Sunrise, Ivanti Neurons and UniDesk (TopDesk).
I was the main administrator for these systems - including configuring automations, user import, asset import, SSO configuration, creating and maintaining knowledge base articles and ensuring efficient ticket handling processes (custom actions, emails flows, approvals etc). This experience has given me a solid understanding of ITSM principles and the ability to optimize support operations through effective use of the platform.
More of a hobby and new area of interest, but I’ve been learning the Godot game engine and GDScript to build small games and interactive experiences. I’ve created a few simple 2D games and am enjoying exploring game development as a creative outlet and way to expand my programming skills.
I have been able to use Godot to start a prototype interactive map for a university campus, which has been a fun way to apply my development skills to a project that combines my interest in frontend development and interactive experiences. I’m excited to continue learning and experimenting with Godot and game development in general!
Other used technologies: Entra ID, SCCM, DevOps, Git, GitHub, VsCode, Visual Studio, Sublime Text, Notepad++, Postman, Insomnia, Copilot, PowerShell, Node.js, Adobe suite, Moodle, CampusM, DataVerse, Redis, Netlify
