The Kohana Framework (Open Source)

Developer

July 2010 - Current

Co-created an unofficial unit testing module for the framework, as well as a number of unit tests.

After a number of months the module was adopted as the official unit testing system for the project and I was invited onto the the core development team

Save9 Ltd.

Web Developer

May 2009 - December 2009, June 2010 - September 2010

I was introduced to the company through a 6 month internship as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Once the placement was complete they hired me on a part time basis, to fit around my A levels.

During my first period of employment my main responsibility was the development of an in house, consumer focussed web application. This involved refactoring an established codebase and setting up a continuous integration system.

After a short period of unemployment I was re-hired, with a primary focus of developing and maintaining web applications for clients.
