My Skills & Services

Backend Development I primarily use Django & Python, but picking up a new framework or language isn't a problem. I have extensive programming experience and I'm comfortable developing both CMS-esque websites, full web apps or standalone applications from start to finish.

Frontend Development I'm happy writing plain old Javascript or using many of the popular libraries & frameworks out there to create frontend functionality or backend server-driven code. I also like putting together compliant, clean, maintainable and responsive HTML5 and CSS3 templates for clients

Design & UX While I primarily write code, I have a good eye for quality design. I have been responsible for numerous design related aspects of previous projects including identity and logo development, layout, mockups and full site designs.

System Administration I manage numerous servers (VPS, shared hosting, AWS etc.) for both client projects as well as my own personal sites and apps. I therefore have experience with the setup (Nginx, Apache, Postgres, UWSGI, Supervisor, Gunicorn etc.), deployment (Git, Fabric etc.), provisioning (AWS, Linode etc.) & day to day maintenance of full server stacks.

Latest Project

CherryText is a Django powered Facebook canvas application that allows Irish mobile network users to send free webtexts without having to leave the comfort of Facebook (think JellySMS or Cabbage for Facebook!). I was responsible for making the concept a reality in both design, layout, infrastructure and implementation.
