Website builder.
Silverstripe developer.
I specialise in the development of bespoke websites and web applications. I work as a contract developer and consultant for design agencies and government and direct to clients as a project manager, designer and developer.
I am based in Gisborne, NZ and work with government and private clients and agencies throughout New Zealand and internationally.
I predominantly work with the Silverstripe CMS, I have around fifteen years experience developing on the platform - including on the Government's CWP.
On this site are some examples of the kind of website work that I do. Some of these are for my own clients and some freelancing for design agencies.
