Hi, this is my online portfolio and blog. I am a web developer based in London, England. As a professional web developer I have designed and coded many web sites using W3C guidelines for web standards, accessibility and usability, and valid XHTML best practice with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) resulting in lean accessible websites that work cross browsers and are also great for search engines.

For the past couple of years I’ve been doing freelance work as a contractor for a number of independent web agencies, working either with individuals on a freelance basis or for large clients on fixed term contracts.

Currently I’m employed at Zircadian, UK company that provides NHS trusts with workforce planning and scheduling software.

Creative graphic design and the technical skills to match is a rare and valuable asset for a freelance web developer. I hand code sites with excellent working knowledge of XHTML, CSS and some ability to edit jQuery JavaScript Library, PHP and ASP.NET. In my development environment I am used to create wireframes, prototypes and specifications for applications and web sites using Axure RP Pro. I also design wireframes, icons, print Ads, banners, graphics and web sites with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

This was a recently finished blog I designed and built. A very clean and simple layout to highlight what Max Howard finds interesting and important. The blog is powered by WordPress, one of the most search-engine-friendly open source content management systems designed to give you complete control over the weblog. With powerful plug-ins to make SEO-friendly, WordPress make your experience as a publisher on the Internet as easy, pleasant and appealing as possible.
