About Me

My name is Allan Muller (Al) and I’m a web developer based in London, UK.

I have been building websites for approxamitly 7 years now, and have run several sites from experimental sites through to fully transaction multi-million pound ecommerce websites. I originally began playing around with HTML & Javascript when I was at college and instantly fell in love with the ease of creating a webpage. Although I have since moved on to slightly more advanced coding Wink

In 2003 I completed a BSc in Computing at BCUC (Buckinghamshire Chlterns University College) which has multiple campuses within the High wycombe, Charlfont St Giles and Uxbridge area.

After doing a bit of freelance for a local recruitment company called Downtown I finally landed a prestigus role with Cotswold Outdoor Ltd. Cotswold are a leading outdoor retail based within the UK and are owned by AS Adventures which is a very successful european based retailer.

My role at Cotswold has allowed me to be very hands on as there is only a very small web team. I look after all the templates, transactional stages and the actual hardware/physical setup. This has given me the oppertunity to perform multiple server upgrades to ensure the website able to cope with the traffic load that it experiances. I am pleased to say that the load has significantly increased since I have joined the company and I hope it will continue to after I leave the company.

I now live in London and at the weekends go up to the flat that is located on Ipswich marina.

I still often travel back to Oxford to see my parents and to also meet up with my friends, although a lot of them have now (finally ) moved away following their own career paths....
