2009–2010
Associated Newspapers
Supported the migration of four large dating websites from a UK ColdFusion and Microsoft SQL Server platform to a PHP and MySQL platform in Ukraine.
Media | Research | Automotive | Retail | Marketplaces
Adaptable delivery across media, research, automotive, retail, and marketplace platforms.
Five distinct assignments show practical delivery across migrations, search and data tagging, CRM journeys, ecosystem upgrades, REST APIs, syndicated feeds, and B2B applications.
Context
Different sectors, teams, technologies, and customer journeys
This grouped case study covers Associated Newspapers, Which?, Manheim, Zonal Retail Data Systems, and eBay / Motors Group UK between 2009 and 2022.
The organisations and responsibilities remain distinct. They are grouped here to show breadth across customer-facing and internal commercial platforms, not to imply one continuous programme.
Challenge
Deliver useful change inside revenue-related and operational platforms
Commercial systems often need fast-paced enhancement and careful change across established platforms. Each assignment required a practical response to its own migration, search, data, customer-journey, integration, or application-support need.
Contribution
Useful distinctions across five assignments
2010
Which?
Improved intranet and research systems, designed a data-tagging management capability, and improved search for the Consumer Information Database.
2010–2011
Manheim
Worked on an end-to-end automotive lead-management and customer-relationship platform supporting multiple stages of the car-buying cycle.
2018
Zonal Retail Data Systems
Upgraded and maintained ecosystem applications using RESTful web services, APIs, ColdFusion, PHP, JavaScript, and SQL.
2021–2022
eBay / Motors Group UK
Maintained and enhanced syndicated UK used-vehicle listing feeds and supported associated B2B applications in a fast-moving marketplace environment.
Outcome
Adaptable delivery across customer-facing and internal commercial systems
Together, the assignments demonstrate practical contribution across migrations, user journeys, search, data management, APIs, feeds, upgrades, and application support while retaining the distinctions between organisations and outcomes.
