WORK HISTORY
Senior M365 and Azure Consultant Developer @Pret A Manger
Manchester, GB
Pret required that a legacy system be recreated using modern technologies and asked me to design architect and develop the new solution. Originally a 3 month contract I was able to impress Pret management with my knowledge of Azure and M365, and was asked to sign on for a further project. The original project made use of SharePoint as a platform, Azure as storage, API\'s and a custom React app for the front end.
