EXPERIENCE

Web Developer
https://www.richardmoulton.co.uk/

I've developed a number of websites over the years, originally my own hobby style sites but since I learnt that Ruby and Rails was being ported to the IBM i server, I immediately became interested and use it for the bulk of my web development projects.

North Coast Golf 500

North Coast Golf 500
https://www.northcoast500golf.com/

This was an exciting opportunity being a fully-fledged commercial website for a new start-up business. This project provided the opportunity to develop further knowledge and new skills, from account registration, online payments, building site administration features, enabling SSL certifications, administering hosted servers, domain management, DNS management, DB management, email management … and a few others.

From the initial requirements analysis, through to design, development, testing and go-live. This was an end to end project that was single-handedly managed and I am proud to have kept to the agreed schedule and deliver a very credible and successful solution.

Vineviers
http://www.vineviers.com/

This was a website for a new small Bed and Breakfast business, and although the requirements were simple, the key objectives were to create a site that would stand out from the list of many in this sector, and ensure the site is responsive, can easily be found and used.

HOBBIES

Cycling

I'm also a bit of a cycling nut. I don't take it to extremes but if I can do 50 miles a week, which isn't often at the moment, then I'm happy.

Hiking

I absolutely love hiking and I'm lucky enough to live in close proximity to two national parks; Exmoor and Dartmoor. I'm also hiking my way along the 630 mile South West Coast Park - only 150'ish miles to go!
