Project Highlights

Influencer Matchmaker

Website for an influencer management company
In winter 2023 I refreshed the Influencer Management website from a dated and slow piece to a modern website with several lead generation improvements. An organic project, this site delivers a lot of information in a clean faster way.

Orange Genie

Website for umbrella company
Whilst working as Head of Web Development for one of the UK's leading digital agencies, I lead development on the Orange Genie website. This was the first project we undertook involving Statamic, a Laravel based CMS which included custom integrations for forms.

Covid-19 API SDK

Unofficial UK Government API SDK for PHP
