Testimonials

Trusted by digital agencies and site owners.

Mama Bamboo

"Anthony brought rigor and organisation to our project, coordinating a variety of third-party teams on a complex project. I appreciated Anthony's attention to detail and ability to break down the complexity of the project to manageable tasks for all the players. Anthony brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the data migration element of the project. He identified and handled all the risks and potential pitfalls of the project , and proactively researched and proposed best fit solutions to reduce the risk rates. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for an experienced IT project manager."

Laura Crawford, CEO of Mama Bamboo

Test Innovators

"Anthony worked with us on a mission-critical Drupal-to-Wordpress migration project. With his expertise, he provided important help in the initial roadmapping of the project, and ultimately built critical components of our new purchase process. His documentation is exceptionally thorough, and his communication throughout the project was equally strong—responsive even while working across time zones and continents. When we ran up against roadblocks, Anthony was patient and resilient, and asked good questions to help us get unstuck. I would be excited to work with Anthony again."

Geoff Dennis, Director Of Operations at Test Innovators

The Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center

"Amazing to work with and one of the best. Always available, always a great attitude, and always has a great fix for any problems. Also an incredible website developer"

Charles Platkin, The Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center

The Trust Partnership

"Anthony has been our website support for over 15 years. We have always found him super-responsive and very helpful, especially with historical information and guidance that has been lost as colleagues have moved on leaving gaps in knowledge within the business. I would recommend Anthony for his calm, speedy and 'nothing's too much trouble' attitude."

Andrea Cutler, The Trust Partnership

Other Services

Consulting & project management

My technology specialisation comes with 25 years experience in a range of industries such as mobile telecoms, finance, private security, hospitality management and digital media. Primarily I am a technology analyst and troubleshooter advising on the board level. Day-to-day I manage remote teams for multi-vendor projects.

Website & plugin development

Although I can build general websites and online stores, my niche is web directory and database sites on WordPress. Bring your own designer or task me with off-the-shelf theme customisation. I will write the code for custom plugins or integration with other web services.

Back-end & database programming

Hire me for projects that involve back-end programming challenges, specifically those that require analysing data and processing content. I will probably use Python, PHP or BASH shell scripting. In terms of relational database technologies, I normally use MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft Access.

System administration & site maintenance

I have worked with a wide range of hosting providers over the years. This includes low-cost bulk hosting, cloud services and dedicated servers run from colocation datacentres in the City of London. Platforms cover most Unix-based operating systems (Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD) together with the standard LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack.

Drupal to WordPress Migration Specialist

Everyone in this game needs a specialisation to stand out from the crowd. Mine is migrating data from the Drupal and WordPress content management systems. I offer a Drupal to WordPress migration service for digital agencies and site owners who need an expert to advise them throughout the project.

A big part of my work involves project management, site auditing and writing custom scripts to export content from Drupal. If necessary, I reformat or clean the content for use in a WordPress content type or plugin. My migration workflow uses a toolkit of scripts and processes developed over the years working with both platforms. If you have an upcoming Drupal to WordPress migration project, my Drupal to WordPress migration guide will help you understand what's involved.
