Andy Cummins / Programmer

Andy joined Cogapp as Technical Department Intern in August 2006, before moving into his current role as a Programmer. He is experienced in both PHP and ASP and is familiar with the most popular web databases including MySQL, MS-SQL and PostgreSQL. Andy also handles the more advanced Linux administration on our external servers (Apache configuration, system security).

He is familiar with Python and AppleScript as well as some of Cogapp's in-house software such as the content management system CEF and the COBOAT database tool. At Cogapp, Andy has worked on websites for clients including Letsema, the Jewish Museum New York, MoMA and also Brighton Museum. He typically works with online collections, developing COBOAT scripts to update a museum's online collection automatically from the museum's collection management system.
