Between December 2011 to January 2014 I worked with Universal Music in London on their artist websites and a new classical music portal called Sinfini Music.
We worked with the Universal Music team in Japan to build localised version of our websites using Umbraco.
In 2010 I developed a website around the geoenvironment of Toktogul, a project funded by NATO.
This was a simple brochure site explaining the project behind the geo-environmental security of the Toktogul hydroelectric power station region in central Asia. It contained project details and contact information for people involved in the project.
During my time at BBC Worldwide I worked for a year with the BBC Public Service’s Domestic Homepage team developing the 2009 BBC.co.uk homepage. This utilised a modular custom-homepage-like layout with drag-and-drop functionality that allowed users to save their layout. I learned a lot about performance and building for high-traffic large scale websites during this time.
Between 2008 and 2012 I worked for BBC Worldwide, the wholly owned commercial subsidiary of the BBC.
I began by supporting and building new features for their “passion sites” such as Top Gear, BBC Good Food, Radio Times and Gardeners’ World among others. After a year I moved to the Public Service’s Domestic Homepage team and helped launch the 2009 BBC.co.uk homepage. I then came back to BBC Worldwide to work on rebuilding the Top Gear website, which we launched in 2010. I spent the remainder of my employment at BBC Worldwide working for BBC.com, the international facing website that sits on the BBC.com domain rather than BBC.co.uk. During this time I learnt about various work methodologies and development processes, as well as working with high traffic websites and content delivery networks.
