Portfolio
When I’m not trying to kill myself in the gym, on a mountain bike, or in a swimming pool, or trying to take photos which don’t look like they were shot during an earthquake, I tend to push pixels around webpages and - occasionally - posters, newspapers, magazines and other paper-based mediums. Sometimes, I even get paid to do it… ;o)
My portfolio includes web design, web development (primarily in PHP and MySQL), print and broadcast media and management, photography, and IT skills.
I have also held the position of trustee for the University of Portsmouth Students’ Union between August 2007 and July 2008, a role in which I took overall responsibility for the maintenance, development and overall strategy of the union’s student media, working with union staff and several hundred student contributors across a newspaper, magazine, radio station and website.
You can find more information in my CV and my work portfolio, further down this page.
Curriculum Vitae
You can download a copy of my CV to find out more about me (although, unless you’re looking to employ me, I have no idea why you’d want to read it - surely you have something better to do with your time…? ;o).

Photography
From time to time I work as an event photographer, with a small portfolio including events in Ibiza and the UK. I hope you won’t be too offended if I ask you to take a look at my event photographs (and, if that’s not enough, take a look at the rest of my photos) so you can form your own opinion on my abilities as a photographer!

Older projects
Gearboxman.co.uk
Creation of an attractive and friendly online catalogue and information resource for Competition Transmission Services, a custom gearbox building company based in Hertfordshire.
In-line with the company’s customer service-orientated approach, a key component in the site’s design was providing an easy-to-navigate information resource with a friendly “voice” aimed towards encouraging first-time and casual visitors to contact the company and talk directly to an employee, rather than to simply throw facts, figures and sales patter at visitors through the website.
