Hi, I'm Paul

Full Stack Engineer, Technical Leader ...Human. I like figuring things out. Web development is where I've spent the last twenty years doing it.

Selected work

Proof of life, and work...

Like many, I have a day job where most of this happens, after hours I'm a relentless problem solver, still, and love to explore new ideas

Doubledot Media Ltd.

eCommerce data for sellers

Day to day, I'm architecting and polishing a suite of tools for online sellers. This is diverse work, and covers data collection, data analysis, and data visualization.

Operating in both leadership and hands-on capacities across a diverse range of web tech including; backend systems in PHP, frontend systems in Vue.js, A.I. backed data processing, plus a plethora of connected services and APIs.

Supporting delivery with contact across a range of stakeholders, including key contributions to DevOps, content management, and marketing integrations.

Doubledot Media Ltd.

All the systems... most of the time.

I've built & tuned many things over the years at the coal face, including, but not limited to; many bespoke web applications, content marketing platforms, a shared hosting service & push-button sitebuilder, WordPress plugins, a TeleHealth service, email marketing systems, data mining platforms, Shopify integrations, and connected it all together for customers & staff alike. So many connected things. I'm a systems builder, a solutions architect, understanding technical problems, disparate data, finding logic gaps, and joining the dots.(..)

Driven to build

How do you know if an idea is worth it? Build it, I say. Not everything see's the light of day, but here's a few things on my work-in-progress list, currently. Watch this space!

A web progression...

Where it all began

I started in the web game as a hobby circa 2002, professionally in 2005, and spent years building small business websites and online stores, many now lost to history. Archives to follow...

Background

Still figuring things out.

My experience hasn't just changed what I know; it's changed how I think. Good software is rarely just about the code. It's about understanding the problem, the people I'm building for, and making decisions that continue to pay off long after launch.

Today: Leading development at Doubledot Media, balancing technical leadership with hands-on engineering across architecture, integrations, delivery, and the day-to-day realities of running web platforms.
Over time: From agency work and small business websites to long-lived software platforms, every stage has broadened the way I approach technology, teams, and the problems they're trying to solve.
What I bring: Broad experience across full-stack engineering, architecture, service integration, and the practical judgement that comes from building, maintaining, and evolving software over many years.
