Developer
I taught myself to code in my teens and this section was the result of that: sharing my knowledge and code so that other people could learn. It’s incredibly out of date these days, but I leave it here for posterity.
I specialise in PHP and WordPress web development but have worked with a wide range of open and closed sourced software over my years in development (there’s been quite a few of those). When I’m not working on WordPress websites, I have a keen interest in technical SEO, affiliate marketing and blogging. I have written and released many scripts & plugins and once ran a tutorial site which, at its peak, received over 20,000 hits a day and was cited in numerous industry publications.
Unfortunately, when I started getting paid to code, the time and inclination to spend hours working on this stuff ‘on the side’ kinda dwindled out. Nonetheless, I keep this as an archive in case it’s of use to anyone. A lot of this is out of date or superseded by “better” things, but it should all be fairly secure at least, as cybersecurity is one of my passions.
