My role within First Mortgage was the sole web developer in charge of planning, building and maintaining custom built back end systems written in PHP & MYSQL that the company then used to allow the mortgage advisors and sales teams to serve the clients needs. The three main systems I built from scratch and was responsible for daily maintenance and development & Support were:

1. Lead - Tracking System
2. Cloud - Storage System
3. Diamond - Partner System Lead Tracking System 

The lead tracking system was built from the ground up using a small ultra light weight mini framework I devised. It utilised Twitter's Bootstrap mobile friendly interface to allow access to it from all devices. The backbone of the system was PHP & mysql and utilised some dynamic modals for ease of user interaction. When a user filled out a form from our main web page their details would be stored into the database and a timed CRON would pick up the lead, determine where they loved based on what information they had previously entered and alert the branch closest to them to handle the sales enquiry. As time went by we had to implement new features like sales reports, usage stats, and even a spam filter. All user actions were written into a log system that Cloud Storage System

This is an off site document storage system built for industry required privacy and compliance controls. A remote document storage system that supervisors from all branches up and down the country would login and file all sales support, advisorsand supervisors documents. It utilised user management that would allow read only, selective write, and full write access based upon a users access level. Diamond Partner System
