About
Based near Norwich, UK, I develop software applications, mostly for the web.
Recent interesting projects have included:
- Complete development of a cloud based ERP system
- A custom PHP/AJAX web application framework to much simplify the serving of different modules to users. This massively improved the speed we can now develop applications for our customers, whilst also allowing us to keep using the (huge) existing code-base.
- A timesheet system with the capability to import straight into jobs in Softrader Cloud.
- A KPI reporting system to simplify gathering of data from a group of suppliers for a particular contract to a major oil company. The data was then combined and analysed for delivery performance reporting.
- A business to business ordering / invoicing system based on XML.
- An ecommerce system connected to Softrader 7.
- Lots of other stuff.
Other Projects:
- A super-simple content management system based on flat text files and Markdown. It has no special server requirements at all, apart from Apache & PHP.
- A miniature blog/CMS/notes app/searchable information dump. Using keyboard shortcuts, an API and email-in capability you can dump information into it in lots of ways. This can then be private or public and also served in RSS feeds. I use it, nobody else does, but you can if you like.
- Lots of other good, bad and unfinished projects.
Technologies I use:
- LAMP (Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL)
- REST APIs
- Git
- Javascript
- XML, YAML, Markdown, JSON
- Amazon AWS: EC2, S3, RDS, etc
