Who I am
I'm a freelance full stack web developer, currently available for new projects.
What I can do
I work on displaying information that is useful and well-presented. I do the front (html, css and javascript) and back end (LAMP stack – linux, apache, mysql, php), and have worked on e-commerce, media management and promotional sites. I'm especially familiar with wordpress and magento, and use jQuery as my standard javascript library.
What I'm working on
Currently working on customising a new resourcespace installation for Motherlode Media, refining site admin tools for Intatex, and creating a magento auction plugin for Webholism.
I'm also working on the early stages of an interactive energy production map, a living wage map of the UK, and a magento shop for UK based sustainable building products.
What I've done recently
(Click arrows for more, or see all details )- Created a digital asset migration tool for Motherlode Media.
- Existing digital asset management software was a custom build that was difficult to maintain. It contained over 100,000 images and had no export functionality, so Motherlode Media asked me to develop a migration tool that could be used to migrate this and other systems, e.g. Filemaker, to resourcespace so they could migrate other applications the same way.
- I developed a PHP application to extract the files and metadata from the existing system, convert them into the right format, and insert them into resourcespace.
- Created various administration tools for Intatex, including a customer emailer and discount manager.
- Intatex uses a custom built PHP ecommerce system. Working with this I developed an email system to message customers relevant messages at appropriate points in the customer journey. I developed a discount manager to enable the site admins to apply discounts to individual products and customers on an ad hoc basis.
- Created a custom gallery scroller wordpress plugin for Webholism.
- I customised an existing jQuery plugin to add functionality including infinite scroll, support for different media types, improved cross-browser compatibility and an admin screen written in PHP.
- Created / customised several health related websites for Messagewright, including Cancer Prevention Society and Policy from Science.
- Created a new wordpress theme and website for Collioure Cottage.
- Created a new website for Peoplevox.
