CCEA is a unique educational body in the UK, bringing together the three areas of curriculum, examinations and assessment.

Having completed many projects with CCEA since 2002, I have been the main website developer for a number of their bespoke websites.

Digital Assessment Services (DAS)

This ASP.NET website and windows application allows a CCEA administrator to manage exam candidate entries, monitor candidate activity in progress during the exam and allow examiners to mark all the exams online.

After a trial in January 2016, the system successfully conducted a first live exam for 664 candidates across 49 different examination centres.

Northern Ireland Screen, Belfast

2014 - Present

Northern Ireland Screen is the government-backed lead agency in Northern Ireland for the film, television and digital content industry.

SPC Media were awarded the project in 2014 to produce a new version of the Digital Film Archive website and kiosk application, to make over 90 hours of moving images available to online and offline visitors. My role was to manage the project to budget, recruit developers and complete the website and database coding.

The ASP.NET website includes a custom content managed area for an administrator to deliver the website content with links to the video hosting by Vimeo. It is built with a responsive design to be usable across multiple devices.

Since the website was launched in 2015, I have continued to provide an annual support service.

2011 + support

The East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA) had digitised 1,200 titles, over two hundred hours of archive films and video footage for broadcast over the Internet. Forming part of a £1m project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, EAFA commissioned SPC Media as a technical website development resource.

In this project I worked within the EAFA development team consisting of a project manager, content management system developer, content specialists and a graphic designer.

The website database needed to communicate with the EAFA database by XML to manage the film catalogue content and the ASP.NET AJAX front end allowed a smoother user experience when searching titles.

Since the website was launched in 2011, I have continued to provide ongoing development and support services.

2008-2015

Culture Northern Ireland first approached SPC Media in 2008 to take over the on-going technical support and development for the CultureNorthernIreland.org website.

From 2008 to 2015, I provided website development and support services. During this period we completed a new version of the main website and developed an additional 5 websites for music, arts, sports and literature.

The main feature of the websites were to allow visitors to search and browse events and articles. The events were supplied by an external data company and processed overnight to refresh the MS SQL database.

Unfortunately due to funding restrictions in 2015, Culture Northern Ireland have had to close all the additional websites.

SPC Media

2010-Present

SPC Media Ltd, Manchester

A self produced website that started back in 2010. Now in its second version, mootz.uk is a property advertising website for agents to list properties for sale or rent in the UK or overseas.

I developed both the front and back end to my own specification for a mobile to desktop website. A data feed is submitted by each agent and processed overnight to deliver the website content. The interface is integrated with Google Maps to conduct searches by location.
