I was contracted by RTR to setup, configure and integrate a community forum (vBulletin) with their new site due for launch early in 2011. The integration involved creating a bespoke Single Sign-On (SSO) and account synchronisation API with their new site which is built on a non-LAMP platform. This was then extended for Cross Domain Single Sign-On (XDSSO) to cater for an array of partner and peer sites.
vBulletin was employed for the purpose due to its robustness and the ability to extend functionality through the 'hooks and plugins' feature. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) was also a key requirement for the deployment, as was affiliate links and banner advertising. The community forum will cater for 100's of thousands of users.

Played a key role in the creation and maintenance of several popular sites (all with a strong adult content) on behalf of high profile media groups.
My role involved working closely with the 3D graphic designers, programmers and editors to ensure the smooth running of development and maintenance. Strict time management and planning was essential at all times.
