About Me

Currently a PhD Student in Lancaster University I have worked on many PHP websites (hasn't everyone?) and quickly decided to prefer Java in my paid work. I moved to the Spring WebMVC Framework and Jetty whenever possible. I have written applications for iPhone and BlackBerry with the back-end work based on PHP (at client request, Joomla CMS is a favourite) or Spring if hosted on my servers. Besides this core I have had success in the implementation of hardware and microcontroller based projects and have implemented a Java Virtual Machine that can run in 8KB of RAM on a PIC24F and Philips XA Series Processors.

Areas covered: United Kingdom

Work Experience

Development of an iPhone application to show various quotes and references from the bible for a diocese was my first iPhone project. After that I proceeded to develop a more complex application for the identification of offers related to a club card. This project was more involved and included map overlays (for the in-built Google-maps application) and searching a REST-style Ruby-on-Rails application already developed by the client.

Jan 2011 to Feb 2011
Website Development at Quality Protects Children

Existing website converted to use Content Management System (Concrete5/Clipper). Some social networking integration (twitter) later removed as not fitting client requirements in the way they expected.

Interesting technical development: OpenID v2.0 was not supported by Concrete5 at the time, we developed a patch and submitted it to the project and it is included with on qpconline.co.uk.

QPC were more than happy with the work done and with the training and help provided. I have always found Ben to be professional and helpful with any queries we have had.

Education

I hold a first class honours degree in Computer Science with Software Engineering from Lancaster University and I am undertaking a PhD course at the same institution. In the past I took a course in C at a further education college, unfortunately it did not cover many of the advanced topics I was interested in such as subclassing widgets in Win32.
