Services

I have over 8 years experience developing on Linux, Unix and BSD. I have been developing web applications for over 5 years. I offer a few small services for people having trouble with Magento installation, Magento configuration (particularly on the EC2 cloud computing platform) and Magento development.

Magento Development

Although I keep myself busy developing a ready made export sales channel for NZ products and maintaining my open-source Magento email extensions I still enjoy a variety of Magento development challenges. So if you have some small, tricky problem to solve, let me know, I might be able to help.

Amazon EC2 Magento configuration

I have extensive experience with production Magento installations on Amazon’s EC2 platform. If you need help with Mysql on EBS, snapshot backups, elastic IP’s and virtual hosting or almost anything EC2 related. Price depends on what you need configured, contact me for a quote.

Free Magento Store Monitoring

I have created a simple webstore monitoring tool which I use to monitor my own production ecommerce stores. It’s free and available for anyone to use – no signups, no spam – just really simple Magento monitoring . Give it a try and let me know what you think.
