Services

Over my many years in IT and academia, I have developed a huge variety of online research projects, from websites to repositories, e-books to cutting edge data visualisations. In particular, I offer:

Digital Editions

Traditional media, such as books, can all be augmented through technology and I can develop new versions of old texts that demonstrate the possibilities afforded. My work on Saint Patrick's Confessio (http://www.confessio.ie) demonstrates some of the possibilities.

Consultancy and Development

If you have an idea and need an experienced developer to realise your vision, I can advise on the appropriate technologies and/or use them to achieve your goals.

Websites and Software as a Service

As well as the Digital Humanities, I am very comfortable in traditional web development. I am an experienced web developer having worked over 12 years at Dublin City University as Web Development Specialist, and have particular strengths in Drupal development.

E-books

A wide variety of online content is currently available in the Public Domain. I have developed software that allows me to harvest and generate e-books dynamically based on these resources. However, given specific content I can create new digital publications effectively and economically.

Linked Open Data

Linked Open Data is a new technology that allows developers to use online resources effectively as databases. I can make LOD work to augment a transform traditional websites and digital editions.

Training

Coming from over twelve years online development at Dublin City University, and three years as DHO Project Manager (IT) with the Digital Humanities Observatory, I have a vast range of IT and academic skills. At DCU, I lectured on several programmes, and have subsequently presented several workshops on a range of subjects. I offer workshops and training on a multitude of topics, including:

  • Web development;
  • Digital encoding and metadata standards;
  • Digital curation and digitisation;
  • Data Visualisation and Mapping;
  • XML, TEI and Data formats.
