Personal/Professional Projects?

The division between "Personal" and "Professional" projects here is purely arbitary, since my personal projects are just as important to me as the professional ones (Though, of course, they don't get the same priority) and are to just as high a standard. Sort of. Whilst professional projects tend to be better debugged, the personal ones tend to be better coded, simply because the lack of deadlines allows the architecture full reign, and I have to make fewer sacrifices to the all-powerful specification. Since my personal projects have no spec, the architecture defines the spec, rather than the other way around. That my not much sense, but on my planet it's a law. So there

Since this is my Professional site, however, I shall only list the projects I've got paid for. The personal projects are, with the rest of my "personal" stuff, on Aquarionics

PreUnderstanding

Before I actually understood web design, I was one of those irritating little kids who get hired in place of a Real designer, usually because they're related to a member of staff.

BrowserAngel

So, my main project for August 2003 to Oct 2004 was BrowserAngel, which would be exceedingly cool and good for my CV if I could tell you what it does, but I can't yet. My work for this involved PHP, SQL, database design, Accessible DHTML, Design, Tables -> CSS conversion, and creating a web-application that's as standards compliant and accessible as I possibly can make it. It's nice.

Evolving Media

Currently I work as a Technical Developer for Evolving Media. The nature of the company means I'm involved to some extent in most of the sites we do, but my work focuses mainly on the Nationwide systems
