My Work
I am a programmer, troubleshooter, technical support person. I am unfortunately not a designer and I don’t make iPhone apps.
Checkout some of the things I’m working or have worked on:
Currency Solutions
I worked at Currency Solutions developing their in house CMS as well as the back end of the website using PHP and Zend Framework with loads of talking to collegues about how they want it to work. High security and SEO friendly were top priorities.
Spark-Stuff and Spark-HQ
Spark-Stuff is my long time fan site for my favourite game. It’s a useful resource for players, and a playground for my latest whacky ideas.
Spark-HQ is the offical site, based on Drupal, with which I also assist.
North West London Removals
“I just want a picture and a phone number” was the brief for this site. Lucky, given my design skills.
