Hi all,

I am unsure whether self-promotion is permitted on this forum, so if it is not then please ignore this message!

I am a freelance web and software developer with a great deal of experience in many areas including development of large scale ecommerce websites (one example is a site I am developing that is similar in theme to eBay).

Your skills are good, but portofolio on your website not really. Or its not full list?

 

[protobyte]

It's not a full list. One of the sites I am working on is under a NDA, and as soon as that is lifted I can show more information on my online portfolio.

My development background is technical and a lot of my work I have not been able to show publically on my website for various reasons. Here is a list of developments that do not feature on my website portfolio:


Tombola Bingo (i:scratch)
I worked for Tombola Bingo (www.tombola.co.uk) and worked on the development of a new online game called i:scratch. It was a free to play flash game they you could play daily to try and win prizes. They replace their games very frequently which is why it is no longer on their website. Tombola were very pleased with the work that I did for them.
