Software Development, Auckland, New Zealand

I am Dave Wilcox, a software contractor recently based in Devon, UK, and now living in Auckland, New Zealand. I have 24 years' experience in various fields of software. Most recently I have been developing web-sites, working with PHP, MySQL, CSS, HTML, Linux and all the trappings which follow on from that. I have worked with the Postnuke, Drupal and Joomla CMSes. My other projects over the last few years have included my preferred tools of Microsoft Access and Delphi.

Delving deeper into the track-record barrel, I have also put my hand to FORTRAN, VMS, Pascal, VB, VBA, C, Postscript, though now I have to think a tad harder for that old stuff!

Recently, I have been getting to know the excellent Drupal CMS. I have been very impressed by how configurable this is, without being forbiddingly complicated. I have just finished a Drupal project for Everybodys Acupuncture, and implementing Paypal to manage online purchases for educational software company Topologika, In New Zealand I have been building pharmahealth.co.nz in PHP for a NZ company specialising in natural health remedies, and also auckland-yoga.co.nz for a yoga teacher and reflexologist in Auckland.

I aim strenuously for W3C-compliant HTML using CSS. Check any of my websites in a validator. If you have a need for a website where you can update the content, and you don't like talking to the pin-stripe suits, please let me know.

I also play with pixels (see my gallery).
