Web Apps
When working at Cognovi, I was lead developer for LetsHelpYou.co.uk - a property search site for recipients of housing benefit.
Virtual Observatory
While working for AstroGrid at Manchester University, I led the team that produced VODesktop - a suite of GUI applications that retrieve tables, images and metadata from the world-wide Virtual Observatory.

- Project site: http://software.astrogrid.org/doc/p/vodesktop/1.3.1/
I followed this by working at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, where I produced a web-based application - Ravioli - which provides the same basic functionality as VODesktop, implemented using Grails. Simple and useful (if you're an astronomer).

Other Websites
Away from my day job, I produce simple business websites for family and friends
