Some examples of projects/applications that I have managed:
(Many of which I cannot provide you access to unfortunately)

::Showcase Gallery (http://showcase.ucreative.ac.uk/)
My employer needed a way of displaying and managing the student artwork online.

Built a web application that fits in with the current website that allows delegates to upload and edit artwork. The website uses high level, performance tuned Coldfusion coding and uses a Microsoft SQL database to store details about the artwork. User and technical documentation created.

::Form Management System
I have recognised the requirement for a web application to generate and handle the responses of booking forms, enquiry forms, contact and custom web forms.

Uses Coldfusion coding, a Microsoft SQL database and integrates with the website Content Management system to allow the creation of web forms in minutes.

::Band Website (http://www.crushonline.co.uk/)
Specification: Design, brand, code and launch a new band website.

The previous website needed some modernisation and improvements to boost interactivity. I have finished the website and it has been launched. This site uses LAMP technology (PHP and MySQL). Search engine optimisation made the site more prominent.

Google Analytics and interactive feedback shows that the website has been very positively received.

::Company Website (http://www.humdyn.co.uk/)

Commercial website for Business. Design, Branding and Coding.

A local business asked me to develop a new website for them. I decided that the best approach to this problem would employ the use of classic ASP.

The site was designed to function with the user software “Microsoft Frontpage”. Contact forms and some small dynamic coding were required.

::Network Load Balancing and Streaming

Setup the web server security, FTP for client access and network load balancing to provide high performance web requests. 2 x Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition on Network Load Balancing.

Servers are configured to the known best standards and installation of Flash Media Server 2 to provide streaming technology to our websites.
