At the moment, I am employed by Lancaster University, which means I am both an employee and a returning alumnus of the University! Within this role, I create the tools and write the code that allows our team of content creators to build and structure custom pages on the university website. This role has allowed me to gain intimate experience with the TERMINALFOUR CMS, which is widely used by many universities and institutions throughout the world. I develop code for the front-end using technologies such as Javascript, jQuery and the Vue and Foundation frameworks; for the back-end, good old-fashioned plain PhP.

Gulf Gas and Power UK, a growing gas and electricity supplier, was the first company I worked for after my PhD. My job involved building a bespoke in-house customer driven website that facilitated easy sign up and allowed existing customers to manage their accounts, bills and energy in an easy to understand fashion. Stack included Vue, a Javascript framework, and Laravel, a PhP framework. You can view the website in its current iteration at here: much of the currently existing functionality is based on work done by myself and others during this period of employment.

I was picked up by a small start-up after leaving my first degree and tasked with maintaining the company's Wordpress website; this role would gradually evolve over the year into full-blown application development using PhP and MySQL, and some jQuery in the front-end. My major project for the company was Consulti, a tool that assisted businesses by providing easy access to a range of consultants in different areas.
