Cover Letter:
Hi
Born & raised in south east London, I have excellent IT skills. I am a great time keeper with outstanding organisational skills. I am also always willing to learn new skills. I am friendly, helpful and polite, with a good sense of humour. I am able to work both independently and in busy teams.
I am outgoing, tactful and capable of listening effectively when solving problems.
Most importantly - I am dedicated and committed to performing to the best ability.
I am a person who strives to complete personal and team goals.
I have over 10 years programming experience working with Unix systems to a high level. I have enjoyed working with both monolithic and microservice applications.
I am a firm believer in using the right tool for the job. Specializing in backend server development I was fortunate to achieve the Recognition Award in April 2019 from the UK government Cabinet Office for my work with secure web systems, using Bash, PHP, Java and JavaScript. You can find out more about the award on my website at https://www.kelvinkamara.com .
I was a software engineer at Mission Labs (2019 - 2020) in the team that made the JD Sports mobile app with ReactJS Native, and the warehouse delivery management software for which I had project ownership with AWS, ReactJS and NodeJS.
I created, managed and deployed the website and mobile app for PlayPal in 2024 with ReactJS Native, and the website with PHP Laravel and ReactJS. At PlayPal the website and mobile app needed to have the same look and feel as the PlayPal logo. I was responsible for design, delivery and deployment of these platforms. The website and mobile app for PlayPal had translation support for English and Spanish.
I worked as a contractor lead web developer at VacancySoft for 23 months (April 2022 - February 2024) where I created systems in Python Django and PHP Laravel that would scrape millions of websites in routines, gathering data as VacancySoft is a publishing data company.
At Job Sender in 2020, I was responsible for the entire IT side of things for its job-posting platform. I oversaw and contributed towards the complete technical operations for the company including but not limited to managing programming, IT infrastructure, task management, development and product technical direction. I learned and used the pre-existing FuelPHP-framework app to add a job board and to create an API for third parties to access system operations like job posting.
