Working with TripADeal was different than my previous work with BazarStudios, it was nice to work in an enviroment with other people.

I was let go during the probationary period due to there not being enough work to require a full time frontend developer.

I joined Bazar Studios almost straight after finishing my Degree at SCU starting as a secondary coder and not long after that as the only in house coder.

The work at Bazar Studios was wide as the company worked primarily as an outsourcing company for other agencies, most under NDAs. Work which included Flash Ads (both resizes and from design. My work predominately on the more interactive ones), HTML Ads (as with the flash ads), Flash Sites, Websites (PHP, Straight HTML and CMS based, both responsive and not) and EDMs (creating html emails from designs that were also responsive). The other main client was with an Adult Affiliate Marketing company (GunzBlazing.com) for which I made/maintained the approximately 25 sites that they managed (about 6 pages per site), the main webmaster portal, the promo content for webmasters and tools the generate the content from the promo pack system using both PHP and Javascript.

In 2016 I started using Drupal 7 for new Sites and worked on migrating all the sites for the GunzBlazing from an old Mansion CMS, to Drupal 7 (Drupal 8 modules for relations were not stable at the time), which required me to extract the content from the MySQLDB directly as the Mansion CMS did not have any export tools. Also for some of these sites I implemented Drupal Commerce for the sale of shirts and licenses to download videos.

Throughout my work with Bazar Studios I have used in production, or for backend tools the following:

• Flash - using AS2 and AS3
