Working again with Kino Creative, I constructed a secure Wordpress Inbox plugin for communication between patients and NHS staff, as well as building a jQuery-powered ‘Self-Assessment’ module that allowed patients to complete a series of questions and receive automatic feedback as to whether should seek further help.

Working closely with Kino Creative, I wrote a large number of Wordpress plugins in order to turn Wordpress from a blogging platform into an advanced, paywalled (using Google Checkout) magazine archive.
This involved a great deal of work programmatically transforming the (often corrupt) data in order to import it into the new system.

PR-Imaging is an established professional photography e-commerce website which I am in the process of refining and upgrading to ensure it continues to be cutting-edge.

I wrote an Events handling module for the WolfCMS-driven backend of AV Festival 2010, as a part of a much larger project

I developed a couple of plugins for WolfCMS on behalf of Band-X, namely: an API plugin which allowed arbitrary tables in the database to be published on a per-column basis; an Events handling module for use in the AV Festival backend; and a website traffic analytic plugin.

On behalf of Oi-Digital, I was tasked with writing a bespoke (and very involved) postage calculator for the Guernsey Post Office. This was challenging as over a period of a year it underwent a large amount of upgrades and extensions: a rock-solid initial design and codebase was crucial in order to cope with this rapid expansion.

Update: I was invited back in 2010 to add further extensions.

I was asked to do a  chunk of maintenance work on the Band-x servers: this included installing and configuring a web-facing SVN repository, setting up a LAMP stack from scratch, and optimising the firewall, etc.

I won a bursary to take an MSc in System Design of Internet Applications at Newcastle University between 2008 and 2009, during which I worked for 5 months at Arjuna Technologies writing a thesis on dynamic propagation within a federated cloud, for which I was awarded a distinction.

I studied Computing Science at Newcastle University between 2005-2008, attaining a 2.1. My dissertation turned into Gigsniffr (now offline)
