Work Experience
Since I left University I have been employed as a full time web developer for a design agency in Northamptonshire. Here I have worked on internal and external backend web systems for large clients such as Peugeot, Citroen, BMW and Volkswagen. They have been developed in PHP, HTML, Javascript and CSS. I have also worked on front facing sites for various other clients which have mainly been built on ExpressionEngine, where I have made numerous custom modifications to allow for features such as multiple language translations for entire sites including articles, with the language being chosen based on the domain name.
From September 2009 to October 2010 I was employed as full time Web Developer for a small start up company that developed Web Applications in Leicester. Here I worked on multiple web applications using PHP, MySQL and JavaScript (Mainly via jQuery framework) and integrated several systems using SOAP interfaces. During my time with this company, I brought two PHP/MySQL based projects from concept to Beta and led a small team of 3 people for the final few months of my employment before returning to University to complete my studies.
From 2005 to 2007 I was a Contracted Developer in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Notts. During my contract I produced a website for a new product, including a custom PHP Photo Gallery and news system using a MySQL backend.
