I currently work for WPA Pinfold – a company in Leeds who specialise in design and brand communications. I work on the digital team as a developer.
I am a web programmer, which I do professionally and as a hobby. I split my time fairly evenly between client and server–side work.
For the client–side, I translate InDesign files to HTML. I actively use HTML5 & CSS3, where appropriate, while maintaining support for legacy and accessibility users. I am also a talented and capable JavaScript programmer, who uses, but does not rely on jQuery to create a smooth user experience.
On the server–side, I use PHP and MySQL. I program in an object–oriented style where appropriate and observe best security and performance practices in whatever I do. I have created many bespoke, multi–user web applications – some using custom PHP, some using the ExpressionEngine CMS.
I am also a sysadmin. I’ve been running my own LAMP servers for years. This website is currently hosted on a cloud–based VPS that I run in my spare time.
Finally, I also dabble in mobile programming for iPhone and Android. Within a few months of learning Objective–C, I had produced WPA’s first iPhone app. I’m currently working on my second, and am in the middle of learning Java for Android app development.
