Profile
I have been involved in web design and development since 1999. Through commercial experience and formal education, I have covered many areas and developed my skills and knowledge base to a professional level. I can now complete every stage of the process. I have created many web sites working full time, freelance and also as a hobby. The best thing about this industry is that it allows me to use my technical ability in a creative way.
My intensive interest and commercial involvement in this industry began when I completed my HND in Multimedia Computing in 2000, and took up full time employment designing and developing websites. In September 2007 I returned to university to complete my education. In August 2009 I graduated with a 1st Class BSc Honors in Web Development.
I supplemented my income during my studies with continued commercial web development work.
Coming from a multimedia background, I have an understanding of many key factors which are essential to creating a web site. These include graphic design, interface design, usability, scripting, flash animation and dynamic content - along with more technical aspects like hardware, networking and security.
If you would like me to work on your project, then please contact me with some details.
