I build kickass web apps.
Hi. I'm Tim White.
I'm a web developer in Northern Arizona.
What I Do
An Overview
I build and maintain top-notch web applications.
From system architecture → server side code → creative front-end, I've got it covered.
Web Development
I use OOP, MVC, and the LAMP stack to code web apps.
Web Design
The interfaces I create focus on simplicity and a fluid user experience.
DB/System Admin
I design solid database schemas and setup multi-purpose servers.
If you're in need of:
- a flexible app that's done right with a "can do" attitude
- a mobile web app designed to emulate the look and feel of a native mobile app
- 3rd party API integration (ie. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc.)
- an open source project modified to meet your needs
- server setup and service configuration
- database design, stored procedures, and/or database abstraction layer
- automated backend scripts for tasks such as data backup, web crawling, XML parsing, etc.
- a minimalist web interface focused on usability and simple aesthetics
- a "jack of all trades" web developer
then you've come to the right place.
How I Build Apps for Clients
It's done in 4 major steps. I learn what's needed, plan, code/test/deliver, and maintain.
Learn
I listen, ask questions, and gather your requirements. From backend requisites to "look and feel", this is where I learn your vision of the finished product.
Plan
Here's where we determine the best way to construct your project. I write specifications, skeleton classes and unit tests, and determine what FOSS software can be utilized.
Build
This step is where your vision becomes a reality. I precisely configure, code, and test the project until it works flawlessly. I deliver the project in reviewable increments to ensure that it's always on target.
Maintain
Requirements evolve, and modifications are often needed to keep the project consistently on track. From additions to integrations, my familiarity with the completed, extendable codebase allows for speedy updates.
