Work

I have been a consultant and web developer since early 2006. Largely specialising in development with Python, Django and JavaScript. I've worked in both small companies with only a handful of staff to large enterprise enviroments. The work across these has been over a very varied set of projects that I've thoroughly enjoyed.

Who for?

I've worked for Aviva plc developing scaling web applications and infrastructure specific tools for both the main Aviva websites and one of its largest subsidaries RAC plc. These projects invovled building on legacy systems to add new requirements and creating new projects or rebuidling sites to bring them up to speed with other modern websites. In the largest project I worked on at Aviva I wrote the full backend for a colmplete re-write of the RAC route planner, one of the highest profile and highest traffic websites in the company.

I have also worked for a number of smaller agencies and software houses primarily based in Edinburgh and London. These include the recently acquired Loopo Ltd, Tsuko, 1576 and Totally Zero (prevously Zero Design). Through these companies I've been involved or responsible for a number of different and interesting websites.

I have had experience working in a startup enviroment at the excellent Aware Monitoring and for the cloud computing provider Flexiscale.
