I have been working in web development since 2006, building custom database-driven websites from scratch, as well as customizing Moodle sites. Before that, I was a lecturer at the University of Surrey, where I specialized in distance education through the online learning platform WebCT Vista (later Blackboard).
I thus bring to my work in web development instruction a wealth of expertise not just in the technical aspects of the course, but also the educational side of online learning. My aim is to deliver courses of supreme clarity which are suitable for a range of learners, and which make learning a pleasure for all my students.
