what I can do
for you

My goal is to do the best job I can within your budget and time constraints. Feel free to contact me for a quote on your project or support needs.

custom applications,
modules and layout

If it can be done with PHP, HTML and Javascript I can and likely have done it.

• web services providing integration between carts, suppliers and invoice systems (SOAP, REST, etc.)
• account integration between disparate codebases
• custom shopping baskets and database driven online inventories
• backend process automation systems
• credit card processor integration
• browseable realty database with integration to live MLS system
• customer relation management systems
• course management systems
• legacy PHP codebase upgrades to PHP 8.*
• legacy PHP codebase maintenance and workarounds to keep them functioning
• legacy ASP / Cold Fusion / Java to PHP conversions
• custom Content Management Systems
• remote weather data collation, normalization and client side graphing (including windroses)
• custom modules for existing applications (Prestashop,X-Cart, etc.)
• integration with cloud applications such as Google Maps, Amazon AWS, etc.
• custom themes and layout for existing applications (Prestashop, CMSMadeSimple, Wordpress, etc.)
• mobile friendly layouts (Bootstrap primarily)

software installation and support

I have installed, written custom modules or solved problems for X-cart, Prestashop, Vanilla Forums, CMSMadeSimple, vBulletin, Joomla! / Mambo, VirtueMart, Gallery, Zen-Cart, osCommerce, phpBB, Drupal, TYPOlight, Wordpress, Magento (amongst others) and numerous pre-existing custom applications. I grok code and am able to solve code level problems.

I have plenty of Linux shell experience and am not afraid of the command line when needed. I have installed everything from the server operating system itself (various Linux distros + FreeBSD) to server side applications (from source code) including MySQL, Apache, PHP, Exim, Mailman, ProFTPD and Wu-FTPD amongst others.

Progress is never ending. If you have a legacy application authored in PHP5.5 or below, I can assist in migrating it to recent versions of PHP. Likewise, queries based on older MySQL versions may need rewriting when migrating to newer versions of MySQL. I can help.

it is important to know your limitations

I make no pretense of being a graphic artist. If your needs are primarily to do with graphics and page layout, I am likely not the solution to your needs. That said, I can work with your designer to integrate their layout into whatever dynamic application you need as well as convert graphic mockups into working HTML / CSS layouts.
