Previous projects

Whiter than white enhancements

I took over the maintenance and further development of this combined e-commerce and content management site. I created a successful customer feedback system and the ability to add custom banner images to each page and product.

Cushman and Wakefield document management

I developed a database schema and an object oriented interface to it that implemented the complex access rules for different document types in different countries. By seperating concerns between business and user interface logic and defining a clear interface between them I was able to productively collaborate with the user interface developer.

Nixon McInnes site upgrade

This included porting all the articles from the old plone based site to the in-house PHP CMS while keeping the old URLs functional for search engines.

Gatenby Sanderson intranet

I integrated a number of open source sytems including a CMS, calendar and forum. Featured: Single sign in to the intranet and the customer facing site, polls, news, and directories of employees and clients.
