Zend Framework

The Creative Cup is an intra-agency football tournament for the creative industry of Manchester, all in aid of St Ann's Hospice. I helped out by developing a "Twitterboard", displaying tweets containing one of a number of related hashtags and then making the tweets sortable using JQuery.

The Dream Town community is a promotional website for the product range of the same name, a series of toys aimed at young children. The site features a number of Flash-based games and downloadable products, some of which are "unlocked" by becoming a member. I built the site and members area using the Zend Framework, having been supplied with the designs and games by a third party.

Gear 4 Music are a large online retailer of musical equipment and software, who required not only a new online presence but a fully-featured e-commerce solution handling stock management and logistics. I was part of a team of developers engineering a new bespoke system to do just that, built atop of the Zend Framework and utilising ExtJS for the management screens. Areas I covered personally included stock allocation, intra-warehouse stock transfers and integration with Parcel Force's delivery and consignment systems.
