About me

My goal is to create usable, accessible, interoperable, attractive, engaging and standards compliant websites to a professional level. I have a keen interest in the web and future technologies which is why I actively follow the industry and forever strive to learn new skills which can then benefit real world projects. I have a broad skill set covering both front and back end development ranging from (X)HTML and CSS to PHP and MySQL. These skills have been developed whilst obtaining a BSc (Hons) First Class Degree in Computer Science. I also have good interpersonal skills and enjoy working both on my own as well as in a team.

Institute of Diabetes for Older People

This project was developed in association with the ‘ABC – Academic into Business Computing’ department at the University of Bedfordshire.

I worked closely with the client to redevelop IDOP’s existing site with an emphasis on maintainability and SEO.

The site is therefore run through Wordpress which allows the client to add, edit and delete content and pages without the need of web development skills saving the client both time and money.
