Custom WordPress theme development. Working in conjunction with Tyk's marketing, creative and technical teams, I developed a bespoke WordPress theme. A key requirement of the project was to create a bespoke content editing system in WordPress which would allow their internal teams to fully manage the website content without requiring a developer or coding skills. I achieved this by building reusable custom blocks which they can drop onto a page and configure as needed, all while keeping the website onbrand.

Custom WordPress theme development. I worked with Future Cities Catapult on their project to develop digital information kiosks located around Newscastle, UK. These kiosks - called TechTotems - display up-to-date weather and event data for the surrounding area. I setup WordPress multisite and developed a custom WordPress theme. This allows for the central management of the theme and plugins but a separate website for each TechTotem. Each TechTotem connects to a JSON file containing the live data for that particular location and automatically displays that data in the WordPress theme.
