I’m a 30 year old Web Developer from Witham, Essex and currently work as Technical Lead at Outside Line based in Exmouth Market, London.
My job involves me working with XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, XML, MVC Frameworks (specifically CodeIgniter),
Information Architecture and Standards Based Development.
I also have experience building bespoke Facebook solutions. These range from simple page tabs to fully-blown applications that utilise the native
Facebook APIs and interact with the user both inside of, and externally from, the Facebook website.
As a freelancer I’ve had the privilege of doing work for some great clients which include Warner Brothers (UK) and Heineken Music.
I’ve also written a few PHP tutorials for .net magazine (Future Publishing) during my spare time.
Under Outside Line, this list includes The Hoosiers (Sony BMG), Oasis (Big Brother Recordings), Paul McCartney,
Arla Foods (Lactofree & Cravendale), Warner Interactive, Glenrothes Whisky, Becks, Virgin Galactic, Nintendo, Diesel,
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber (Really Useful Group) and David Beckham.
I tend to play around a lot with the Twitter APIs and have written a magazine tutorial based on it
(for .net magazine) as well as many web services for clients, including one that interfaced directly with UK SMS.
I recently co-founded a new UK Ltd business, The Danceplug Network. This company will specialise in online Record Label & DJ
events, promotion, management and audio streaming & publishing. More details will be available soon.
You can find me on LinkedIn or you can mail me at coding[@]mikemackay.co.uk (removing the square braces).
I can also be found on Twitter. Feel free to follow me and throw any questions/advice/criticism my way!
I also love to DJ in my spare time, You can download and listen to a handful of my mixes from here.
