Bespoke Software Development

With Emily Sheppard

Make your projects a reality!

Who am I?

I am a software engineer with more than half a decade of experience developing highly complex and bespoke applications for a wide variety of clients. My main focus is website development; especially enterprise grade applications.

Beyond this this I work with incredible designers and knowledgeable SEO specialists to provide you with the best results possible.

Emily was an excellent web designer and developer. He worked hard to understand our project requirements, offered multiple solutions with clear time estimates, was responsive and communicative throughout, and delivered a final product that was to our specifications. It was a joy to work with Emily and we would definitely do so again.

My Work

  • A cartoon hand stamping a piece of paper with a passport laying next to it.

    Immigration Case Management System

    I worked on a case management system for an immigration specialist while working in a small 3 person team at Netready Ltd. The system allows the company to more easily track immigration applications of users who wish to enter the UK. It had to accomodate multiple offices around the world working collaboratively as well as navigate the vageries of the UK immigration system. The system took a year to develop.

    HGV MOT Booking System

    I worked closely with a client to develop a complex booking system for HGV MOT's. The system needed to be able to generate reports, export Sage audits, and handle displaying large amounts of data to the client in order to optimise their booking schedule. Beyond that it needed to handle and parse complex bookings with many fields, while also providing a client portal/payment area for clients to book themselves onto the system.

    Two custom systems for a materials testing and its partner production company. The systems links in to the company's existing ninox database and allow their clients to view sample/order statuses.

Technical Details

I have a 1st class degree in software engineering and over half a decade of experience in the industry. I am also conversational in French and love travelling off the beaten track. Previous to getting my degree I taught myself programming and now have been doing it for over a decade.

My standard tech stack includes Laravel, VueJS, and Tailwind CSS. However, like any good crafts-person I do not rely solely on one tool to complete a job and easily branch out into multiple technologies and concepts. This may include knowledge of scalable applications, understanding of web concepts such as preloading and caching, SEO, RESTful API design, etc. I adapt to whatever the situation requires.
