I AM WEB DEVELOPER
WITH OVER 7 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

I developed and managed a wide range of web projects for local Global businesses and prestigious companies such as Nivea, Pfizer, MCN, Campbell's Kitchen, Toyota, Coca-Cola & RTÉ Television. My portfolio includes marketing-driven interactive sites, e-commerce solutions, intranets, extranets, CMS, mobile applications, Facebook apps and many more.

My objective is to acquire a development position in a creative and challenging environment where I can become a valuable, hardworking member, and to continue striving to create great work.

WHAT I DO BEST

"Starting with us straight out of college Loic quickly grew to be an integral part of the Lightbox team. During his time at Lightbox he has built hundreds of web sites always to a very high standard. He has a can do attitude, is not afraid of a challenge and is constantly asking pertinent questions to ensure the best solution for our clients. The speed at which he works is legendary and I cannot recommend Loic highly enough. He will be an enormous asset to any company that he works for."

"I have worked with Loic at Lightbox for over five years. Loic's 'can do' attitude and attention to detail made him a pleasure to work with. His eye for design gave him the ability to take any design and turn it into picture perfect HTML. I would have no problem recommending Loic. He would most certainly be an invaluable asset for any company."
