Whilst working for BuzzMyVideos, a leading MCN, founded by two YouTube executives I was required to completely rebuild their public facing website from scratch. The new site is WordPress based and in addition involved setting up a git repository and a staging and production site. A badly written premium theme was purchased (always good to allow a dev to view the code before purchasing :)) so in addition to setting up the theme I had to rewrite a mass of css and js to make it perform correctly. Custom post types for jobs were introduced and the legacy business logic was removed.
Ibiza delivers is a online supermarket offering 24/7 deliveries to hotels, villas and yachts on the island of Ibiza. It has been compared to Ibiza’s version of Ocado and is used regularly by thousands of customers including celebrities like P Diddy, Jay Z, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and David Cameron. I have been heavily involved in all aspects of their Magento-based site from its inception and on an ad hoc basis as a Technical consultant.
I have just created a new site / app for them that caters for their growing business in Yacht Provisioning enabling Chefs to order provisions for same day delivery via boat. It has been optimized for both Mobile and Tablet.
Prana Wellbeing is one of Londons top Health and Wellbeing centers offering a range of services including Yoga, Pilates, Physiotherapy and Nutrition. I was asked to evaluate and then rebuild their existing WordPress based site. The work involved unpicking the legacy code and rebuilding a multisite-enabled platform allowing each part of their business to function with autonomy whilst allowing management to access all key areas. The site was based on Bootstrap 3 and the work also included some custom plugin development.
The Harrington is one of Londons largest providers of Serviced apartments. I was asked to evaluate and then rebuild their existing WordPress based site. The work involved unpicking the legacy code and rebuilding a multisite-enabled platform allowing each part of their business to function with autonomy whilst allowing management to access all key areas. The property management site was connected to a booking api and featured all available properties and filtering by dates available etc. The site was based on Bootstrap 3 and the work also included some custom plugin development.
I have just completed WPMotion a premium wordpress theme and potentially a web service too. This site is currently running in it. Its designed with portfolio and presentation sites in mind and allows you to navigate with click, touch, swipe and even gesture via leap motion. It utilises Reveal JS and supports all standard wordpress functionality (posts, pages, attachments, categories, tags, search, comments, galleries etc). Check it out at www.wpmotion.net.
Whilst at Hogarth I was required to build a multi-language location based app for BAT. It used a wealth of APIs including Gigya for social login, GoogleMaps for Maps, Foursquare for locations and others for age verification etc. The idea was to show users the best places to smoke in specific cities like London, Zurich and Seoul. It was built for both Android and IOS and i was involved at every stage from numerous meetings with client, the UX, the UI, the recruitment of the wider team, code reviews and the occasional rewrite. The backend platform was built upon WordPress and utilised a clever MongoDB based API, it was hosted on an Amazon EC2 server that i also setup.
