About CyberMat
Work-related things I do and don't do
I've been an independent web developer since 2003 specialising in bespoke online data systems. I procure, provision set-up and manage servers, design data architecture, develop server side applications and their corresponding client-side views.
For me, everything starts with data - capturing it, processing it, analysing it and publishing what it all means. The structure of data forms the blueprint of input mechanisms – eg forms and APIs, as well as views – reports, pages, app frontends.
The main technologies I use in my own projects are...
Server side / backend
Server management / Debian/Raspbian
Nginx
PHP
MySQL / MariaDB
Node & sockets
Client side / front end
HTML
CSS
JavaScript / jQuery
Semantic / Fomantic UI
Deployment
Security, server management
SVN - Version Control
rsync - for secure transfer of data and files between data centres
Other
Stripe integration
SEO & performance analysis
Mandrill (MailChimp’s email delivery API)
Things I don't work with very often
Open Source CMS, (WordPress etc)
Angular/TypeScript
Ember/React
Python
