.me.ukAn outgoing, friendly person who is helpful and not afraid of hard work, self-disciplined and proved able to handle responsibility. Good communication skills and at ease in group discussions. As a confident and creative web author who has designed websites for many different purposes and created test sites to experiment with new ideas.
I have recently graduated from University of Wales, Aberystwyth with a 1st class BEng (hons) degree in Internet Engineering having enjoyed both the work and social life Aberystwyth has to offer. Have produced a number of websites for various purposes including for a school website and online trading across the world. While always considering and developing new features I am presently working to make my websites more accessible taking into account what I have learned while studying at the UWA. Although my logic for design has always been "Keep it simple" and I still believe this makes the best websites designs which are easiest to use.
My current designs changes including making Bid Deals use CSS as it was designed before I learned about such things, using alt tags on all images and even replacing some images with just text using coloured tables. I am also making the system generate URLs based on the content in a folder format to hide the Perl scripting and make it more search engine and user friendly. PuJ.me.uk is always where I try my projects first.

Allows the manipulation of cPanel functions through a PHP script allowing you to write code to perform functions usually only the site admin can manually change through the cPanel control panel. For example this could be used to assign each of your users a customised sub-domain for use with your script.
It allows PHP scripts to perform actions which would normally require root access which is usually not available for shared hosting so saves the expense of purchasing dedicated hosting to perform these functions.
Since July 2008 I've been writing PHP across Digital Spy's website adding new features and reducing site loads through extensive caching. Digital Spy ranks as the 3rd biggest entertainment website in the UK with over 80 million page impressions a month.
