About Me

I'm a Software Developer in the North West of England. I have around 10 years of experience developing websites (both front and backend), primarily using PHP, NodeJS or Python.

My work has often lead me down all sorts of paths, just some of the things I’ve dabbled in include: Data Mining, Geospatial Data Analysis, Cloud Architecture, PC Applications and Arduino.

My Experience

Web Development - Freelance

During this period I worked on a variety of PHP & Wordpress projects, which included the development of a Mobile App for a construction company and a racing car licensing system built with PHP CodeIgniter.

Software Developer - Offigo

When I started at this position the company had a Wordpress Site to which I made a number of customisations, I also developed a Mobile App with Ionic which sourced data from the site.

After some time there became a need for the company to expand and build a bespoke version of the system which I designed and developed using Angular & Laravel. Version 2 of the website and app included a: CMS, Hootsuite style social media scheduler, Stripe subscription system and an Address lookup system using data from Ordnance Survey.

Senior Software Developer - NHS

I currently work as a Software Developer at NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria ICB. Some of my work here involves: refactoring the existing codebase, implementing new features, Geospatial data analysis and management of the Cloud Infrastructure using the AWS CDK.

What's Next?

Much of my previous experience has often involved streamlining existing software and improving security, lowering costs as well as making some real improvements from a UX perspective. I'm currently begninning to use this experience to consult with businesses and make the same kind of improvements I've made in the past, long term I'm looking to do this on a permanent basis. If you'd be interested in some consultancy for your software then feel free to get in touch...
