Overview

Hi, I'm a 22 year-old web developer capable of creating feature-rich web applications using the latest web technologies.

Introduction

At the age of 17 I really got into websites in general, and tried making my own website by playing around with Joomla.
I pursued this interest at college with A-Level Computing, and then at university level with a degree in IT & Media.

During these 5 years my skills have expanded to include PHP/ASP.NET, AJAX-programming, ability to work with PHP and JavaScript frameworks, and along the way I picked up a lot of web design techniques.
The result is a multi-talented web developer/designer with a decent sized portfolio, and a degree to prove the work I'm capable of!

Academic

I just graduated from Lancaster University in July 2009, on a IT & Media Course - where I was the only student to get a First Class Degree on the entire course!

During university I was working on Cube Websites with a friend, covering the cost of our student lifestyle. After university my friend decided it was time to move on to becoming a computer technician. I preferred to stick with the Web Development and so you now see me working full-time with Cube Websites - though my friend is still available to help when needed.

In my final year at university, I was asked to choose from a series of projects, from which I selected "Web 2.0 Social Networking Application".

I developed this application during the course of a full year, enhancing my PHP, AJAX and design skills significantly. I really enjoyed working on this project, it gave me the opportunity to work a lot with Google Maps too, and create mashups that I didn't even think were possible.

The project all properly documented and planned out, I did several presentations for this project and in the end the hard work paid off with me getting a First Class Degree, and the ability to launch it on the Internet as a real website for testing.
