What I build

New applications, additional features and changes to existing systems.

API integrations

I connect websites and applications to third-party services using REST APIs.

Bespoke workflow tools

Tools for internal processes, event workflows and reporting. Recent freelance work includes live quiz solutions and bespoke applications.

Front-end development

Responsive interfaces in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, including work on Laravel and Vue.js applications.

15 years in
web development.

Recent freelance work includes API integrations, live quiz solutions and bespoke applications.

I started in web design, writing HTML and CSS, before moving into custom WordPress themes and plugins and web application development.

Between 2018 and 2022, I worked on security, information and telecommunications projects, developing both the front end and back end.

I work full time on a Laravel and Vue.js platform. I also take on freelance development projects.

How a project starts

  1. Review what exists

    Show me the website, spreadsheet, API documentation or process you use now.

  2. Agree the scope

    We decide what needs building first, which systems it affects and what can wait.

  3. Development and testing

    I develop the application, integration or tool, with automated and manual testing.

Penetration testing

I carry out penetration testing on my own projects to find and fix security vulnerabilities.

For each issue, I investigate the cause, make the fix and retest it. I also check that existing features still work.

Penetration testing of an event booking system revealed a security flaw before the system was rolled out to production.
