About Me

I am a 22 year old web developer based in Cardiff, South Wales. I have been doing stuff on the Internet since late 2003, and have owned, managed, designed and developed a variety of sites since then. Over the last 8 years I have found myself moving towards specialising in PHP/MySQL based work, and would now consider myself an advanced user of both of these technologies.

At present, I work for a Web Design/Development company based in Worcestershire, with 2 days a week in office, and 3 days a week telecommuting. My job title is ‘Web Developer’ and I spend my time working with both existing and new build in-house content management systems and e-commerce systems.  I am also actively involved in the quoting process for new projects with the two directors of the company. I previously worked part time for an Internet Consultancy firm based in Leominster, Herefordshire, where I developed a wide range of content management systems – ranging from simple news scripts, to fully manageable image galleries.

I have worked on a wide range of things in my career; some highlights for me from a technology point of view include:

  • A Google Maps API implementation and an advanced property search/filter system for a popular estate agent in Worcestershire
  • An appointment reservation and booking system for a research company in Birmingham
  • A press image pack download system with account registration & access logging for a well known company listed on the Stock Exchange
  • A CakePHP based subscription and digital purchase system for a popular audiobook publisher
  • An online equipment booking system for an AV Equipment rental company
