Introducing.. Nigel! One of our pre pandemic hires, Nigel only had a month in the office before we turned to WFH life, and we’re so glad he stuck it out! Now that we’re back to office a few days of the week, we’ve gotten to know him even better and are excited to put him in the spotlight.

How long have you been working for Channel 1?
3.5 years

What is your role?
Web Developer

What does your average day to day look like?
I start the day off by checking my email then completing any small edits and updates that came in. After that I focus on my current projects, while tackling any client requests that may come in for current and ongoing projects.

What’s your favourite memory from working at Channel 1?
The Christmas dinners at Morton's Steakhouse. It’s always great to share a meal and chat with everyone outside of work.

What would you recommend to someone looking to start out in development?
Enrol in a web development bootcamp. As someone who completed one, I highly recommend it! It’s intense and very stressful at times but gives you all the tools you need to start out as a front end developer with an introduction to back end development.

What did you do before you started at channel 1 and how was the transition between roles?
I was in banking, working my way up from the branch to a head office job. After doing it for 8 years, I realized I didn’t feel fulfilled with what I was doing. After talking to friends and family, I did some research and decided to leave my job and enrolled in a web development bootcamp at BrainStation. The program is years worth of material condensed into 12 weeks, so it was a lot to grasp in a very short amount of time. Completely changing careers was a tough decision but I couldn’t be happier that I did it.

Wishing a very happy 3 year anniversary to one of our designers, John Dermody 🎉

How long have you been working for Channel 1?
3 years as of February 24th.

What is your role?
Senior UX/UI Designer.

What does your average day to day look like?
I start my day by replying back to clients and getting my smaller tasks out of the way. Afterwards I usually spend the remainder of the day working on new projects. Getting the smaller things out of the way first allows me to really focus for the rest of the day.

What’s your favourite memory from working at Channel 1?
My favourite memory was when the Blue Jays generously hosted us in a suite for a game. I had an amazing time!

What’s one tip or trick you’d pass along to someone starting out in design?
Find a good mentor and learn as much as you can from them.

Celebrating 15 years of meaningful connections, innovative thinking and another successful National Sports Forum. It was great to connect with old friends and new ones, and to finally meet some of those faces we’ve seen on Zoom for the past few years, in person!

Thank you to Ron Seaver and the team for putting the NSF together, year after year!

What is your role?

What does your average day to day look like?
Coffee first, black and strong; no one likes a groggy developer! Start the day by addressing minor edits and requests to client sites. After a midday workout, focus on current projects, one module at a time.

Getting a golden ticket to Superbowl 50 and spending a week in San Francisco, all expenses paid via our clients for the Host Committee website.

What would you recommend to someone looking to start out in development?
Enrol in a development bootcamp, and from there decide if you want to focus on backend or frontend (if you’re ambitious, both).
