Bodychef

I worked here for many years, undertaking many tasks and wearing many hats. Primarily I created solutions to problems and issues that arose with the business whilst constantly developing software to aid business processes. From analysing data in order to make informed decisions and streamlining processes, creating best practises, to developing unique user interfaces for both customer and administrator to easily perform necessary actions.

I created specifications and designed the software to meet all requirements. Delivering improvements and features continually without downtime or issues.

The bodychef was one of the first, if not first home delivery diet business in the UK which made it exciting because of the continuously improving nature of the business.

Over this time I learned a lot about the food industry and nutrition.
