BCB BV

About

In August 2023, BCB BV brought me on board to manage three primary websites and support various secondary sites within the affiliate marketing industry. As the sole web developer assigned to these projects, I took on a wide range of responsibilities, from client meetings and demos to coding and audits. This comprehensive role allowed me to fully immerse myself in the projects and ensure everything ran smoothly.

Streamlining Project Management

To bring order and efficiency to the numerous tasks, I introduced ClickUp as our project management system. This platform provided a clear overview of all tasks, enabling me to keep the client updated on ticket progress. We worked collaboratively to create and prioritize tickets, ensuring that the most critical tasks were addressed first. This structured approach facilitated a smooth workflow and timely completion of projects.

Design and Development

A significant part of my role involved designing new components based on stakeholder input. Using Figma, I crafted designs that met the client’s needs and vision. After presenting these designs and receiving approval, I moved forward with the development, ensuring each component was implemented to the highest standard. This iterative process of design, approval, and development helped maintain clear communication and alignment with the client's goals.

Onboarding and Collaboration

As the end of the project neared, I onboarded another freelance developer who had previously worked with BCB. I provided him with a comprehensive handover, showing him how to add new features and handle other technical aspects of the websites. This ensured a smooth transition and continuity in managing the websites.

Continued Support and Maintenance

In February 2024, I completed all the created tickets, marking the end of my full-time period at BCB BV. However, our collaboration did not end there. I continue to provide support and maintenance for the websites, ensuring they remain up-to-date and fully functional. This ongoing relationship highlights my commitment to the client and the projects we worked on together.

Working with BCB BV has been an enriching experience that allowed me to showcase my skills as a web developer. From managing multiple websites to introducing efficient project management systems and designing new components, this role has been a testament to my ability to handle complex, multifaceted projects. If you're looking for a web developer who can manage end-to-end development tasks and maintain clear, ongoing communication, my experience with BCB BV demonstrates my capability and dedication.
