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.
Four years of hosting work for a web agency
Forty-eight orders between 2021 and 2025 for one agency: certificate installs, moves between hosting accounts, server setup, and whatever else broke on the sites they host for their own customers.
A forum and its image gallery after a server move
A community forum with a separate image gallery had been moved to a new server by someone else. Image links across the board were dead, and a large part of the gallery had never arrived.
A PHP REST API put on AWS, then moved to serverless
I stood a PHP REST API up on an AWS virtual server, then migrated the same API to a serverless setup with a managed database behind it.
Three sites and their mail moved between hosts overnight
Two association sites, a community subdomain, and a set of subdomains that only redirect, moved to a new host with the DNS switched over in the middle of the night and the mail pointed at Google.
A club forum moved off a server that was being shut down
A vehicle club's forum moved to new hosting, with everything copied off the old server before it was cancelled. That's what saved the photo albums when the club found their own backup was incomplete.
An archive forum imported into a current phpBB
A long-running community archive moved onto a current phpBB, including accounts the old software had let share an identifier, and the links from the main site that pointed into individual posts.
