Case studies
Each one is a full write-up of what the client needed, what I did and how it turned out. These are selected projects, not a complete list. Repeat work of the same kind is written up once rather than every time.
Mailboxes moved to Google Workspace with the DNS to match
A customer's mail moved off shared hosting onto Google Workspace, including addresses that were separate mailboxes on one side and aliases into a single inbox on the other.
Taking over a phpBB forum that wouldn't load on mobile
A forum with a long list of problems, the first being a mobile version that didn't load at all. Fixing it turned into four contracts and three years of running the board.
A French community moved off a hosted forum provider
A film community's forum was running on a free hosted service, on somebody else's domain. I rebuilt it on their own site with the same structure, then later gave it its own database.
Recovering a site after a migration lost data
Two contracts three years apart with the same client, both about forum boards that stopped working after someone else moved the server.
Thirteen copies of one PHP application onto new hosts and subdomains
A client running a set of regional listing sites needed the same PHP backend and its database copied onto new hosting accounts and new subdomains, thirteen times in six months, with the source left untouched every time.
Twenty-eight orders for one client over five years
A client who started with single-site transfers and ended up planning their own cloud server, then turned the order for it into site work when they changed direction partway through.
