WORK EXPERIENCE

1999(Aug) -2002(Nov)

A.L. Digital Ltd Computer Programmer

I wrote the more complex parts of a bandwidth monitoring system for the mass hosting environment of the Bunker. It sends email alerts about unexpectedly high bandwidth usage; and generates graphs on the fly for a website (with per-user access restrictions), and for inclusion in PDF bills.

I was the main author of a diary system, in which people record their billable work, and bills are generated. It tries to get the details right automatically where possible, and by highlighting things that project managers will need to double-check.

I also worked on websites including pages updated as news feeds arrived, localization, a frontend Applet talking to a Perl backend, and a Web-to-SMS gateway.
