I'm Karl ,
I like to
websites
.
Hi.
I'm an Irish web designer and developer and I love all things digital and design. Last year I completed an MSc in Interactive Digital Media (1st Class Hons.) at Trinity College Dublin.
I've quite a few years' experience working in web development and design, and I love creating purposeful, unique, and interactive websites. I'm currently looking for opportunities to flex my creative, interactive, coding, and UX/UI chops. My favorite foods are popcorn, hummous, and mushrooms, but not all together.
Frontend
These are my main skills, which I'm very good at.
HTML5
CSS3
Bootstrap
Javascript
jQuery
SCSS
BEM
Worpress
Other skills
These are other related skills that I have, and which I'm also pretty good at.
Photoshop
Illustrator
Nodejs
VS_Code
Gulp
Git
And these are some other things that I either have some experience in, or am learning and getting better at every day.
React
Angular
Expressjs
Typescript
PHP
mySQL
C#
Python
I have over 3 years' solid experience in web design and development, including freelancing and working with a company developing Wordpress based websites.
Since completing my MSc I have taken on some small freelance projects. I used these opportunites to experiment with newer develoment tech, especially cool stuff like flexbox and CSS grid, Sass, node.js, express.js, etc.. I'm also a complete BEM convert and advocate.
You can see some of my latest work below.
Other stuff.
For the final project of my master's degree, our team developed a multiplayer asymmetrical VR game for Gear VR with Unity3D and multiple Arduinos. The talented Arlene Kalem (who also made the accompanying video) and I wireframed, coded (in C#), 3D modelled (in 3DS Max), level designed, and troubleshot the game and its peripherals over a period of 3 months. We also drank a lot of tea and pulled out some hair.
The game was exhibited at a two day public showcase at the Science Gallery, Dublin, end of August 2017. Our team was awarded 1st Class Hons. for the project. Drop me a line if you'd like to know more.

I've been making music for most of my life.
In 2017 I released an album under the moniker of Bear Worship
which got some
pretty
great
reviews
and featured on a bunch of
end of
year
lists.
My music is looked after for sync and licensing by the
great folk at
Tremolo Music Publishing.
