Portfolio
Royal Naval Association - Wymomdham Branch
I was commissioned to build a simple site to share key information, and to allow members to download minutes of meetings etc.
devfeed.net
This was a personal project mainly to help keep me up to date with what is going on in the industry.
This is a very simple application which combines a number of RSS feeds from news sites, companies and bloggers and provides a very simple reading interface. It's a fully responsive layout so easy to check on your phone for interesting articles etc.
This is very much a prototype at the moment. I hope to develop it further and make it to someting truely useful in the future.
