In 2007 I created a new site for Video Ezy Edgecliff. The existing site was unable to handle the quantity of titles available so the site was slow and often unresponsive. The new site handled the product database with ease and added online reservations to the mix.

Freelance programmer specialising in e-commerce.

Adelaide, Australia

My first real web development job! Running a completely static web site in 1998 the Adelaide Football Club were looking to revamp their site. I developed the new site which operated until Telstra took over the running of AFL web sites. In that time we implemented a message board, footy tipping competition, live score updates (I had to watch the games from home and update scores on the site as the game progressed) and an ecommerce store selling AFC merchandise.
