Peter N. Go

Web & Mobile App Developer
For Hire
My Mug I've been doing mercenary programming work for 16+ years. If you have a web or mobile app in mind but do not have the technical expertise to build it, you can contact me to do the job for you.

A Little Bit About Me

My collective years in information technology spans more than 20 years. I started out in 1992 as part of a small marketing team specializing in both turnkey and custom software solutions focusing on business applications. In 1997, I went on to doing multimedia authoring from 3D walkthroughs to interactive touchscreen applications. In 1998, I moved on to doing web design/devlopment for both local and international clients. Since then, I've handled all aspects of web development from setting up and administering web servers to coding database-driven web sites even all the way to internet marketing and SEO. And not too recently, I've added mobile app development to my skills set. With my diverse background, I have a great understanding of project requirements from both business and technical perspectives. This makes me an ideal person to hire for any web and/or mobile projects.

Skills & Services

PHP

Excellent

PHP is the most popular scripting language in use. It is the backbone of many dynamic web sites. Even content management systems like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal use PHP. If you have a requirement for a dynamic web site done in PHP, I may be able to help.

Perl

Excellent

Another popular scripting language for web development. Whether PHP is better than Perl (or vice versa), fact remains that I have yet to discover a single thing that Perl can't do. If big name companies like Amazon, Google, Craigslist and lot more are still using it, I'm not writing this language off just yet.

MySQL

Excellent

MySQL is the world's most popular open source database. It is the database of choice for web applications because of its high performance, high reliability and ease of use. With strong background in PHP and in Perl, I can custom develop a database-driven web site using either language.

Wordpress

Excellent

Unknown to many, Wordpress is not just for blogs. It's a full-blown content management system with a huge base of contrbuting developers for themes and plugins. You can literally do anything with it. And that's why I always recomend it to my clients. Need a custom Wordpress theme developed? Talk to me.

HTML5 / CSS

Good

HTML5 is the latest edition of HTML - which is essentially the very core of every site on the internet. With HTML5, I can help add interactive media, audio and video to your site without the use of 3rd party plugins making them viewable on any browser on any device.

Linux Server Admin

Excellent

If you're tired of mediocre shared hosting accounts that's making your web site lag or worse, unreachable, then it's time to get your own dedicated smart server. I have more than 10 years experience in managing Linux servers and I can help manage yours.

Mobile Apps

Excellent

Nearly everyone now carries a mobile device that is capable of running browser-based and native apps. This is why companies are taking their presence to the mobile platform. Let me help mobile-ize your web presence so your business stays competitive.

SEO & Marketing

Good

With nearly everyone already present on the web, it's almost impossible to stand out. While I don't profess to be a guru in this area of discipline, I've had quite a bit of experience managing various web sites and successfully putting them on major search engines.

  • The Responsive Page Tester

    Whenever I'm asked to develop a custom responsive website template, it's a must to test it on various resolutions. Most browsers allow developers to accomplish that but not on a single view.

  • Inanimate Objects

    Since around 2004, I've been admiring Cason Pilliod's custom toys which he showcases on his Inanimate Objects web site. So when the idea of revamping his web site to a CMS in time for its 10th year anniversary came up, no way was I going to let the opportunity pass. Cason wanted to preserve the old comic book feel of the site but at the same time make use of modern tools to help him manage contents more efficiently (he used to code every page by hand). Of course, Wordpress was the recommended solution. I helped translate Cason's design mock-ups into a custom responsive Wordpress theme.

  • Adventure Kids Playcare

    I was hired to help the owners of Adventure Kids Playcare re-code their homepage. The old version was done in Dreamweaver with the images sliced up into table cells. Over the years, updates to the homepage done by different people meant editing the sliced-up images and then retro-fitting back to the old layout. This caused a lot of misaligned elements as well as browser incosistencies. I rewrote the code using purely HTML and CSS which resulted in cleaner and faster-loading homepage that is viewable on all browsers.

  • Article City

    Article City was a project that I developed back in 2001. Little did I know back then that it would become one of the largest and most popular free article directories on the web.

  • Action Figure Insider Galleries

    Daniel Pickett and Jason Geyer (co-founders of Action Figure Insider) needed technical help to figure out what was causing their dedicated server to intermittently bog down. One of the key causes I found was a dated image gallery script they were using that hogged server resources. So I fixed that by writing a custom image gallery in PHP + MySQL which was very lightweight and easy to administer.
