I’m a web developer based in Cambridge in the UK. I run a number of online businesses, most notably Eco Web Hosting, which provides the majority of my income. I also enjoy building web apps (I write backends in PHP/MySQL and frontends in HTML5/jQuery) and HTML5-based mobile apps. I also enjoy photography.
I’m particularly interested in simple apps that do one thing well, and testing the limits of web-based interaction and UX design.
I enjoy reading Hacker News, Lifehacker and the Guardian.
I have been a freelance developer for 7 years, hand-coding in PHP 4 & 5 with MySQL, HTML5, Javascript and jQuery. I have built numerous sites and systems from scratch – check out my portfolio for more information. I have also created many WordPress, OS Commerce and Shopify sites, from simple home pages to heavily customised themes and portals.
I have a Mathematics degree from Cambridge University, and taught Mathematics in UK schools for ten years. I’d be a good fit for any role including direct client communication.
My current focus is web apps and mobile HTML5 based apps. I’m particularly interested in educational systems.
