My experience variously includes Web design, standards-compliant Web integration in XHTML/CSS and also database-driven backend development. I have designed and developed for projects that span across different sectors with diverse needs, including: universities, finance/general insurance, government, small business, corporate, non-profit organisations, personal Web sites and others.
This portfolio showcases some recent projects I have undertaken. In some of these projects, I was the principal designer and developer, in others, I worked with teams which included project managers, concept/graphic designers and other developers. All sites I have worked on were standards-compliant at the time of delivery.
