Project Portfolio

By 2007 I have built a few dozen of websites, including a food trade portal, two timber industry portals, a metal trade portal, several general business directories, an online forestry magazine, an ice hockey tournaments database, several web shops and lots of corporate websites. Most of those old sites are now gone, or have changed unrecognisably.

For the last 10 years I have been working as the principal developer of Lichfield-based executive job site ExecutivesOnTheWeb.com . It was the greatest project I have undertaken so far. Some of the most significant work I have done for EOTW was:

• Modernised the source code of the sites, optimized the databases, developed the optimal production and testing server infrastructure, implemented routine maintenance, backup and security procedures.
• Re-organised their two job sites to run on the same source code and to utilise the same database, introduced extensive data caching to boost performance, created a web application firewall for better performance and security.
• Improved their existing services and built new ones, such as - CV Builder, CV Search, CV Critique and CV Writing. Created the paid services supply infrastructure, including the web shop.
• Created CRM tools, which have improved work efficiency of the sales staff. Helped to build accounting and payment chasing tools and procedures, allowing to reduce bad debt and the number of debtor days. Automated some administrative tasks, releasing the admin staff to focus on more important work. 
• Built a marketing email system with email template and campaign management tools. Introduced a number of email authentication, tracking, bounced email processing, opt-out methods and procedures. Integrated several 3'd party email dispatch services to be used for marketing email.
• Built SEO infrastructure consisting of SE-optimized landing pages and tools for their management and performance monitoring, achieved significant traffic improvement.
• Improved and enhanced the reporting system, built a wealth of business reports allowing staff and the Management to quickly access information according to their roles and privileges.
