Experience

Forumotion

Technical Creation Supervisor

2007-2008

PHP forum based company run by the French company 'E-Toxic', I managed and assisted in the creation of further enhancements to the standing PHP platform providing new services for users and a more suitable and customisable UI.
Meeting a list of time and budget restraints including a list of requirements, I had to work close with designers, project managers and consumers to achieve a useable beta forum in order to analyse any outstanding issues and to ensure the project was in line with the specifications detailed at the beginning of the project.

During the project I also provided code resolves via a support forum directly to Forumotion users so that all previous issues were resolved before upgrading the systems.

Website founder

2009-Ongoing

I created a business website called 'z000b' which is a small website that hosts a website design creation service at an extremely affordable price. Much like the above site it is fantastic service however this means all funds gathered goes towards software and additional services required. The team have also been involved in development projects for PHP Invision codes and CSS3 testing. From running the service and managing staff as well as sponsors, hosting and project deliver-ability I have gained and learned a vast amount of valuable core skills and information.
