Welcome! I'm a web developer, working particularly with PHP, the LAMP stack and related technologies. My main interests lie in working on web applications, analyzing and reporting on data and building excellent APIs so that data in one system can be used in another.
I'm a developer by background and by preference, but as you can see, I do a number of different things. I write and offer editing services in between the more technical work I do, and if you've got something interesting you think I could help with, then I'd love to hear from you.
Development and Consultancy
This is my real passion: the code and tools behind elegant and useful applications that don't cause grey hair for those responsible for them! Allow me to work with you to provide robust APIs, build the new-facebook/google, improve the performance of your web application(s), provide an improved tool stack, or solid integration against other systems. I'm not afraid of hairy code and I'm a pragmatist; I'll always make a constructive suggestion and aim to leave you with skills and tools to look after your digital properties.
Technical Editing
I will take on work to edit language on very technical documents and articles. I'm well-spoken and well-read and find it frustrating when good ideas are let down by their expression, making the content hard to understand!
Writing
Since I'm freelance, I have the freedom to take on a variety of projects and this often includes writing. If you'd like me to write for you, or you want to discuss a project with me, I'd love to hear from you.
