Coding, designing, consulting, thinking

I put a lot of thought into each project I undertake because I want the solution to be the best possible fit for the client.

My experience of both business and technology means I bring a different perspective to the table and I regularly challenge my clients on their thinking. I take the time to understand their requirements, identify any oversights or pitfalls, plan the work and communicate the solution clearly.

If you like the sound of that then here's what I can do for you.

iPhone and iPad programming

I can build apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch using Objective-C and Apple's Software Development Kit (SDK). I am a registered Apple developer.

I can take you through the whole process from idea development, design and prototyping before finally publishing your app to the iTunes App Store. Its proving to be a great way of combining the things I'm passionate about and the things I'm good at: great software, beautiful interfaces, user experience and object-oriented programming.

Web development

I can design and build first class web applications using PHP, MySQL, standards compliant XHTML, CSS and unobtrusive Javascript.

I have worked on a wide range of projects, bringing together programming skills, design skills, user experience skills and the determination to find an elegant solution to every problem. Please take a look at my portfolio for the highlights. This is the sort of thing you can expect:

  • Object-oriented PHP programming
  • MySQL database design and administration
  • Web service integration (SOAP, WSDL)
  • Payment system integration (PayPal, SecPay, Worldpay)
  • Intranet and extranet development
  • Transforming designs into standards compliant XHTML and CSS
  • Adding interactivity with unobtrusive
    JavaScript (jQuery, Prototype)
  • Wordpress themes
  • Website maintenance and hosting
  • Search engine optimisation

Business consulting

I can help get those ideas out of your head and turn them into a workable business opportunity.
