Samaritan Accommodation (www.samaritanaccommodation.com)
Hayden has been asked to create a website for this charity which, as well as advertising their services, will serve as an accommodation availability tool for local councils, to be administered by Samaritan Accommodation staff.
Inline with current trends, a simple and practical layout has been chosen, with the majority of the development being put into producing dynamic, site editing facilities for the staff of this organisation.
This project is still not complete, while we wait upon content and further comment from Samaritan Accommodation.
Camp David Adventure Centre (www.campdavid.org.nz)
After marrying in early 2005, Hayden and his wife travelled to New Zealand (Hayden's home country) for a year on a working honeymoon. As part of this trip, they both worked at this Christian Adventure camp for a time as outdoor instructors. Among other duties, Hayden was also asked to create and maintain this website.
EPS Photography (www.eps-photography.co.uk)
HeyDan Development's services were contracted by E.P.S Photography for a number of years, to create and maintain a simple, but professional looking, website to advertise their Photography Studio.
This simple site uses the most basic features, concentrating on simple HTML and optimised graphics, to produce a simple but effective layout which is compatible with as many browsers as possible and will display as quickly as possible.
HeyDan Development - Document Improvement (www.heydan.co.uk/dis/)
We have recently released a Document Improvement service. As well as providing an improvement service for documents that have been translated in to English, this website shows off some of Hayden's website design, templating and database driven/integration skills.
Christian Business and Information Directory (www.cbd-search.com)
Hayden's first and largest, personally funded project, has been in development for a few years now. There are many ideas and improvements planned for this already successful site, but development has often been slow due to Hayden working on this project single handed for the majority of the projects life, and only when he has had available time.
For more information on this large scale project, please read more about CBD-Search.
Hayden & Emily Andrews (www.HayEmX.com)
Hayden's skill in website design and database integration can be seen clearly at his personal website, www.HayEmX.com. This website uses many design techniques, scripts and database integration to provide Hayden with features such as a secure 'Contact Us' form, automated newsletters, dynamic template based page generation, IP geographical mapping, and much more.
The Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre (www.msrc.co.uk)
While waiting to go to Thailand on a mission trip in 2003, Hayden secured a project at a UK charity (the MSRC), to create for them, a contact / event management database in MS-Access. This database needed to keep track of various contacts, magazine subscribers, fundraising events and event participants. It also needed to perform a variety of admin tasks, and produce relevant reports.
Upon returning from Thailand, he again renewed relations with this impressive charity. The task this time was to rationalise their 900+ page website; to check the order, consistency and integrity of the massive amount of accumulated information.
Most of Hayden's computer skills were used at various times, while working for this organisation, as required.
Enigma Data Systems (www.enigmadata.com)
HeyDan Enterprises Limited was contracted by Enigma Data Systems to help with continued development on a complex web based project written in Perl. The PARS product is made up of an HTML front-end with a 'Project Archival and Retrieval' backend which interfaces with other Enigma products.
We were asked to track down and solve the few remaining bugs in the soon to be released product upgrade. Some new features were also required, along with the need to gain expertise in key areas of the application so as to provide developer/technical advice the 'technical support' team.
After this successful contract, HeyDan Enterprises Limited was again approached to fill a similar role as before. This time, the requirement was to produce code (in Perl) for some enhancements to the PARS product.
The National Bank of New Zealand (www.nbnz.co.nz)
Hayden was asked to perform an analyses role, and to provide recommendations in three areas:
- To analyse the "End of Day" of the main wholesale core system, which runs on a UNIX platform, and provide recommendations and pre-project plans for the migration of this procedure from a UNIX task scheduling product (crontab) to Control-M/ECS. This required obtaining a good level of understanding of both Control-M and ECS, and being able to ascertain whether the project was feasible and advisable before continuing to recommend a course of action. A suitable level of documentation was required detailing every component of the project, so as to allow those who were to perform the actual task of migration to move on quickly with full knowledge and understanding. As Control-M had only recently been implemented on the UNIX platform within the bank, this project also had to expand to include recommendations for the use of Control-M on UNIX platforms, in a way that would fit in well with how Control-M had been implemented within the rest of the organisation.
- To analyse one particular production machine (currently being built) and provide recommendations to standardise it with other machines, and to ascertain which core elements were required to be installed to allow certain internal applications to work. This was due to a new requirement by the Midrange department, driven by growth, to split their applications among a larger number of machines, and so this project required obtaining an understanding of how the products on these machines interact and what communication channels and other controls would be required.
- To provide a Perl code for administrative tasks, and to study, understand and document the Perl code used in an old internally developed application.
Thanks."
