About me

Hello, My name is George and, as you may have already guessed, I’m a Web Developer. I specialise in database driven, object orientated PHP Development. I am also highly competent in many other aspects of web development.

Here is an overview of my skills:

• Over 7 Years PHP Experience
• OOP and Design Patterns
• Advanced JavaScript and Ajax
• XHTML, HTML, XML, XSLT, CSS, W3C
• MySQL, SQLite, Access, PostgreSQL, Oracle
• Apache, IIS, LAMP, WAMP

• Basic Graphic Design (I designed this site), although i’m not a designer

The fllowing is a list of some of the thirdparty applications i have worked with:

• phpFoX (social networking)
• Social Engine (social networking)
• Interspire Shopping Cart (ecommerce)
• osCommerce (ecommerce)
• Mercury (ecommerce)
• Joomla (CMS)
• Jaws (CMS)
• Xoops (CMS)
• phpNuke (CMS)
• phpBB (forum)
• myBB (forum)
• SMF (forum)
• IPB (forum)
• WordPress (blog)
• Coppermine (image gallery)
• Moodle (course management)

And finally some APIs i have worked with:

• PayPal IPN
• DirectAdmin
• Maxminds GeoIP
• Several extension systems for items on the above list

Maybe not the biggest of lists you’ve ever seen but I’m not a jack-of-all-trades. My primary skill and experience lies within PHP and in particular bespoke applications for small to large businesses.

I pride myself on the quality of my work, the standard and structure of my code and my attention to detail. By nature i am a perfectionist and this comes across clearly in the quality of my work.

One of my greatest accomplishments is the completion of my own content management system, PiranhaCMS. I developed originally as an exercise but found a hunger for the freedom to develop to my own specification. I have since spent large quantities of my spare and working time developing the CMS and i am almost ready for release. This will not only be a centre piece in my portfolio but will become a framework for all future developments by me.

So, what can i offer you?… Well my years of experience play a large part in any decision to work with me, but i pride myself more so in my communication. From beginning to end i will keep you up to date on your project as often or as infrequently as you like. All projects are planned clearly and documented throughout to ensure you know exactly what you’re getting for your hard-earned cash and how to use it once hand-over is complete. On large scale projects i will even offer on-location training to users of the system.

Finally to top it off i will even offer a guarantee on all of my work. If anything goes wrong (that is my fault) i will fix the issue and take steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

So if you’re ready to start pop me an email using the custom quote form or start a live chat with me above. If you require any more information the contact me page is where to start.
