Website, commerce and platform integration

A connected platform for membership and course sales.

I rebuilt the Association of Business Mentors website and connected WooCommerce with its CRM and learning management system. This enables ABM to sell courses through the website while keeping its customer, sales and learning platforms connected.

Topic pages, design and functionality

Clearer topic journeys across an evolving education website.

I created dedicated pages for Puzzle Locker and improved the design and functionality across the website. The work gave each workshop topic a clearer place within the site and made the overall experience more consistent for schools exploring the service.

  • Topic page development
  • Content structure
  • Design improvements
  • Site-wide functionality
“Chris has done a fantastic job with our new website. It looks great, and we regularly receive compliments from schools on how easy it is to navigate. He’s always available on WhatsApp if we need anything and is incredibly quick to resolve any issues that arise. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.”

Previous roles

The experience behind the delivery.

The ABM project is backed by experience gained in large software engineering organisations and applied directly through Hello Street since 2020.

Previous employer

My work included customer-facing BBC News and Sport products and backend systems designed for high levels of public traffic.

  • BBC News and Sport
  • High-traffic services
  • Performance and accessibility

Previous employer

Jaguar Land Rover

I worked inside a large engineering organisation where production reliability, security reviews and careful collaboration were part of delivering software well.

  • Production systems
  • Security-conscious delivery
  • Large engineering teams

Independent since 2020

Hello Street Ltd

I now work directly with businesses on existing websites and software, resolving defined problems and delivering features and integrations without agency overhead.

Representative engineering work

Experience beyond
a list of technologies.

Much of this work sits inside commercial codebases, so the useful evidence is the type of system, the engineering responsibility and what was at stake.

01

High-traffic product development

Built and supported customer-facing BBC News and Sport software, where reliability during major live events and careful production releases mattered.

02

Payments and subscriptions

Delivered work across customer journeys involving payments, subscriptions and the services behind them, with attention to failure paths and data consistency.

03

Backend, AWS and integrations

Worked with backend services, AWS infrastructure and connected systems where permissions, monitoring, ownership and recovery all mattered.

How that experience helps

Senior practice, proportionate to the project.

A focused project does not need enterprise-sized process, but it still benefits from the habits developed while working on software used at significant scale.

01

Performance and accessibility

I consider how a change behaves for real users, on real devices and under realistic load—not only whether it works on my machine.

02

Security and production risk

I look at permissions, sensitive data, failure paths and rollback before changing an important customer or operational journey.

03

Maintainable delivery

I explain decisions, review code carefully and leave work in a state another developer can understand and continue.

Commercial work does not have to be public to be relevant.

Much of my work involves existing websites, internal systems and commercial code that I cannot publish. I will not disclose a client's private implementation details, but I can explain the relevant technical experience, the kind of responsibility I held and how I would approach your requirement.
