Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Bentley is a versatile software and web developer based in Sydney with over a decade of professional experience building accessible, standards-based front ends and robust Microsoft Access database solutions. He runs his own firm, Softmake, where he combines hand-crafted XHTML/CSS/JavaScript work with PHP back ends, MS Access/VBA database systems, and Android/Java mobile projects. His long history includes multiuser Access deployments, data migrations, and a custom static site generator that leverages XML/XSLT—demonstrating a preference for deterministic, transform-based tooling rather than heavy frameworks. Comfortable across markup, data transformation (XML, XSLT, JSON) and automation (PowerShell, WSH), he balances legacy Windows technologies with modern web practices. Detail-oriented and accessibility-minded, he has produced printer-friendly, WCAG-validated sites and multi-site replication databases for complex environments. He’s actively evolving skills toward scalable consumer web and Android apps while remaining available for front-end or Access-focused roles.
