php/mysql

Most of what I've done online involved the use of PHP and MySQL. I have taken on projects of many sizes, from ones involving only a few lines of code to complicated applications made from scratch. This page contains a sample of what I've done. Many of my projects are private by nature, so there is much I cannot show.

Currently, I am a programmer for Fast-Fwd, a London-based multimedia company. Due to an agreement, I cannot display any of the projects I've done on their behalf in this portfolio. Please refer to the company's web development portfolio for samples.

Projects below are listed in no particular order. It is fairly difficult to articulate in words some of the features in these projects, and so if there's anything that you don't find too clear in any of the descriptions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
