ScottJones
Senior Software Engineer, Designer & UX
As a software engineer & designer, I help brands and companies connect with their audience, achieve their business goals, and leave a mark in a fast-moving world.
My name is Scott. I'm a passionate engineer with over 15 years of experience who works closely with companies to help them unlock their full potential and solve specific business problems with effective and scalable solutions.
UI / Web Designer and Developer with 15+ years of commercial experience, working in Real Estate, Automotive, News / Publishing, E-commerce, News Media, local and national Governmental projects and Entertainment industries (to name a few).
Interface and Web Designer with 15+ years of commercial experience specializing in graphically immersive experiences, primarily for the Entertainment industries such as Gaming, Series & Movies.
UX Designer with 15+ years of commercial experience in making applications and software used for internal and external use.
Software Developer & Engineer with 10+ years of commercial experience, specializing in front-end design systems and micro-frontends. Mostly now working within the ReactJS ecosystem, but also continue to work on micro embeddable platforms (Vanilla JS) and traditional front-end projects.
Over the years I've been leading design or development in projects with: Sport050, Jagex, Curse, Marti Pellow, NPO, Vorm, Mensenlinq, WebsiteBuilder, HostGator and many more. Some of these platforms reach millions of unique visitors per month, or tools used by internal development teams to speed up and standardize their development process.
I'm quality, commercially and efficiency motivated, I also want to continue to grow, while also spreading my knowledge and experience where I can.
I do not believe in simply telling others what or how to do things. Rather I prefer facilitating the conversation and team to make informed decisions that have a positive outcome on their work and project(s). Likewise I'll always be there to assist the team with blockers, solutions or anything else, as and when needed.

Projects & Contributions
World of Warcraft - Guild Audit Tool
The Guild Audit Tool connects directly to the World of Warcraft API to fetch up-to-date data about your guild and its members. It then analyzes this information against a set of key criteria and milestones—such as raid progression, gear levels, achievements, and quest completions—providing a comprehensive overview of your guild's strengths and areas for improvement.
Managing a guild with 20, 40, or even more members can be a daunting task, especially when trying to keep track of everyone's progress and identify what each member might be missing. This tool streamlines that process by offering detailed auditing and management features.
