I started dabbling with websites in 2001, writing my first HTML, CSS and JS websites in Notepad over dial up internet. In 2005 I started on my journey with data driven websites with my own PHP and MySQL content management system. By 2009 I had moved to Drupal 7 and many sites were built over the years, with a few static Bootstrap sites built for good measure.
During this time I worked for a range of public sector bodies, specialising in domains such as outdoor recreation, rural development and grant funding before specialising first in business intelligence and later in business analysis.
In 2021, I started working in Backdrop CMS and while I still have a couple of Drupal 7 sites, all new work is in Backdrop. I have built Backdrop sites for small businesses and non-profits. I have ported several modules to Backdrop, created modules and am also the maintainer of the Backdrop command line tool, Bee.
