I updated a single-language Laravel website to be multilingual—this involved implementing a language switcher using available packages and covering the functionality with tests.

This website allows the user to post classified ads. The project involved first me asking annoying but essential questions to find out the core purpose of the website and the minimum viable product.

Over the course of two weeks, I created this system in a test-driven manner focusing first on the core of the application which was allowing users to post a view adverts. Once an MVP was completed, I continued to add more features, a task made easier by the test coverage already in place.

I am continually looking to improve my knowledge, I saw this TDD course and had to sign up. Following the course, I created a platform for local concert promoters to sell tickets to their events. 166 lessons spanning just under 22 hours of content.

My own module store, theme from scratch with multiple back-end modules to improve the customer experience, e.g., GitHub API integration for auto-adding to a private module repo.

One of a few small Magento modules I have open-sourced to help small store owners keep track of orders by highlighting them in the order grid based on status.

Themed this Magento site based on provided PSD images. Magento, PHP, jQuery, Sass, and Foundation were used.

A Magento store built from scratch.

A custom Magento website built from scratch with custom Modules, e.g., "Create Your Own."

Another small open-source extension to improve Magento back-end filtering.

A rescue re-theme of a site that had been about 60% completed by the previous developer. I started with code cleanup and worked through the whole process.

Re-themed, upgraded, and optimized this website. Investigated current code and made speed improvements using tools such as Magento ECG, upgraded to the latest enterprise version, and rebuilt the theme.

Born out of my own desire to find laundry services, while traveling abroad, I built this website to allow people to list, update, and review laundromat locations.

A custom progressive web app built with Vue js and Laravel API back end. I worked as an integral part of the team that built this app, which does everything from making a booking to unlocking the rental car with the phone/app.

I was part of a small development team that developed this custom software designed to help building site managers order the supplies they need, saving them time and costly mistakes.

It has a hypermedia API built-in Siren to allow the API to evolve and a Vue.js front end.

This was a semi-agile project, and I worked hard to try and share this into a fully agile project.

Developed a full procurement system for one of the UK's leading Building contractors to manage their order placement and procurement.
This was a process previously done via spreadsheets and emails ad has saved the client countless amounts in terms of time, mistakes and efficiency.

Created an easy-to-use platform to allow people to research and find the perfect narrowboat holiday to suit them. I could launch Roam&Roost much faster than if a traditional Waterfall approach had been taken. I spent much less time coding features and content, which users didn't want, and instead allowed users to tell us what they did and focused on that.
