Hello!
I'm Chris, and welcome to my humble professional profile.
Equipped with a BSc in Physics from the University of Bristol, half a BSc in Diagnostic Radiography from LSBU, experience in a bunch of odd jobs between these and my 3+ years working as an administrator and project co-ordinator for mental health services in the NHS, I have a breadth of knowledge to draw from to help you in whatever good deed you need doing.
While not an out-and-out programmer, I've also made a bunch of things in my time as an admin to make a lot of very diligent and competent nurses tell me I'm the best admin they've ever had. I've built a lot of spreadsheets from scratch in Excel, picking up good habits in conditional formatting and lookups, and exploring possibilities with VBA, Forms integration and PowerAutomate to make training registers, laptop trackers and admission histories.
I think a lot about accessibility (as hopefully evidenced by the style controls at the top of this web page), and UX/UI in general - I've used many packages where I, someone who spends most of their waking life in front of computer, can barely figure out, let alone someone a 40 year old nurse who only has about 10 minutes in any given day to even check their emails.
I've messed around with HTML, CSS and jQuery to make things such as (and links will come in due time):
- eProcurement fixer - any item found on eProcurement will have its title untruncated and a direct link generated to its page on the NHS Supply Chain Catalogue website
- Oyster Log Stripper - less sensual than it sounds, you can paste in a .CSV of your Oyster history obtained from the TfL website, and it will automatically remove weekends, any entries not related to travel, and let you manually select anything after the fact
- Gimme My Netflix - You probably knew what you were going to watch when you opened Netflix - bumps that to the top of the page instead of being accosted by half-screen recommendations for something you have no interest in (assuming you're watching in browser and not an app)
- Bandcamp Filter - It is very cool that you can browse many different artists in a label's bandcamp page, but it would be even cooler if you could filter out the artists you wanted and differentiate between singles, 15 minute EP's and full LP's. And now you can!
If you would like to give me a job to fix your spreadsheets, or even better yet, pay for my training to become an actual programmer, please do drop me a line at real dot email address at website dot com.
