Web
I am a web developer. I build and maintain websites and web applications in PHP with MySQL databases behind them. I develop on Linux servers.
I am based in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) and work closely with clients who require my services, but I also work remotely for a few businesses.
On a one-off contract basis or for on-going work, I am a competent PHP web developer with six years of PHP coding under my belt, both on a freelance basis and working within an organisation. I have the same number of years with MySQL, which I can administer via both a front-end GUI such as phpMyAdmin, or equally as well via command line.
In addition to PHP, I am competent scripting JavaScript and have produced a number of projects incorporating Ajax functionality.
If you would like to contact me with regards to possibly working together, please drop me a message via this website in the first instance.
Examples of my work
I designed, built and maintain PhDSeek.com, a website dedicated to promoting PhD projects and programmes at universities and institutes across Australia. This site has had particular attention paid to it in terms of search engine optimisation - all URLs are friendly, keywords are automatically extracted from content and descriptions are formatted to display key information on results pages. The site includes a registration & login system, as well as a management system for universities and institutes to maintain their own listings.
The Holloway Diamonds website was designed by Bull Art Media Group. Working with Bull Art I was involved in producing the custom CMS to manage the site, including the Flash based product gallery.
