I developed a JavaScript calendar for this customised Project Management System. Users can flick through past and previous months/days, switch to Day View and drag and drop deadlines between days. All with the magic of AJAX!

A long time ago (before del.icio.us was even born) I created my own bookmarks web app for my own personal use. I probably should have shared it - I could have been rich! Well, at least I still use it - and I prefer my design. It's full of AJAX-ey goodness and runs on PHP/MYSQL.

During my time at Heard Creative, I made several improvements to our website, such as writing customised blogging software, optimising content for search engines and introducing database project management.

As part of Cycling England's campaign to promote Bikeability, their new youth cycling scheme, Heard Creative created this fun and exciting website. Although simple on the surface, behind the scenes are Instructor Admin sections, Content and Scheme Admin Systems and integration with their existing CMS. That's a lot of PHP/MYSQL/JavaScript/XML!

For Christmas (and self-promotion) Heard Creative sent it's clients a link to this little online Christmas card. I conceived, filmed and edited the film. I even sprayed some 'Snow in a Can'.

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office asked Heard Creative to create a website aimed at youth travelers. I lead the development of the build (XHTML/CSS/PHP/MYSQL) which included a customised Content Management System with Edit In Page facilities.

During a couple of contract stints at Harrods, I implemented their new design (XHTML/CSS), designed feature page layouts, created dynamic Flash promos and built microsites.

This is a simple little illustration I presented to my girlfriend for her birthday. No HTML/CSS/AJAX but a bit of pencil/paper/Adobe Illustrator.

To fuel my girlfriend's obsession with Kate Moss, I painted this pixelised photograph for her - with a paintbrush and everything! No mouse used here. Well, ok ok, I used Photoshop to pixalise the original image - but then I used a paintbrush!

Sony & EmpireDirect partnered up for this exclusive microsite and I was asked to design and build it using elements from the then-current Sony Style brochure. It was a while ago, so it was a simple ASP/HTML/CSS build.

I spent nearly six years at EmpireDirect and watched it evolve from a simple ASP/HTML based online shop to an ASP.NET/CSS/AJAX award winning e-commerce operation. I was Lead Developer and was responsible for the core programming projects - most of which centred around the user experience such as dynamic product navigation, AJAX Favourites List and instant product list style customisation.

Towards the end of my A-Level Art Course I spent quite some time crammed in a small room with a bunch of strangers looking at a naked man. This man was called Bob. And this is what he looked like.
