Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Beard is a Web Development Manager with nine years of professional web experience and a long tenure at Keele University where he progressed from IT adviser to lead the Strategic Communications and Brand Directorate's web team. He combines front-end craftsmanship—CSS/SASS, HTML, JavaScript and UI design—with practical CMS, build-tool and Adobe Suite expertise, and a knack for delivering training and cross-organisation support. His background in Cisco networking (CCNA) gives him extra systems-level perspective unusual for a web lead, and his GitHub serves as a sandbox for mini-projects and experimentation. Comfortable both shipping production sites and mentoring colleagues, he brings steady technical leadership rooted in higher education and a creative past as a professional musician.
