I started a small agency with a Designer which grew to over 200 customers in regional Australia. We built websites using ColdFusion in the early days but moved to Drupal in 2007 till still in use today. WordPress we have used more and more in the last 5 years with Oxygen Builder being our no. 1 tool of choice.

Technical Director

Working for Defence as well as my own growing business I got to continue my work with ColdFusion building one of the largest information systems in use using a Microsoft SQL backend DB.

Information Systems Manager

I worked in a small team on their National ColdFusion website they ran back then. Raine and Horne was one of the biggest real estate agency franchises in Australia in early 2000. 

Web Developer

I was on a short term contract here at Webqem, it was a small team and I worked on large enterprise-level business using a proprietary CMS built with ColdFusion.

Web Develoepr

From Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 I have had experience building websites from Small business to large enterprise. Drupal is quality and the best solution for today's large enterprise for scalability and security of all CMS.

From strategy, design, concept and implementation. Backend and frontend. API builds with interfacing proprietary non-mainstream solutions. Data import. My focus is on outcomes not just deliverables and getting caught up in the fuzz.

Extremely proficient with CSS over the years using SASS and LESS for enhancing my workflow. Happy to explain the weighting of elements, inheritance and efficiencies that can be gained from this technology.

When customisation becomes too expensive in eCommerce I have had experience scaling Shopify sites through the use of apps that has saved customers hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on custom solutions. From membership Shopify sites to large 7000+ product sites with complex pricing structures I have had a wide range of experience with this platform.

Stepping up to big business and enterprise with Drupal 8-10 I have built sites that are multi-sites even with Drupal running up to 6 different sites out of one platform. I understand the use of new technology deployment with Composer and git in this area. The largest site I have built with this is a dung beetle website  tracking species and importing data from the CSIRO using Drupals very flexible migration module. I love Drupal, but it's not for everyone.

Have built multiple websites using Oxygen Builder. it is by far the fastest builder out on the market today and has great community support. This is the quickest most affordable way for customers to have their websites built.

I have had experience with ColdFusion from version 5 back in early 2000. ColdFusion is strong with Adobe releasing a new version recently it supports custom development of enterprise-level web platforms. My experience here in the early days was with integrating real estate websites with their party API feeds. Over the last 17 years I have worked with ColdFusion with a student management system that has managed over 70,000 students and 4000 staff.
