Craig Davey’s Junior Support Programmer Application

Hello Signals

I’m Craig. I fix software for people.

I’m a curious web generalist who wants to make software work better for the people who use it. I like to solve actual problems for actual people. I enjoy fixing frustrating bugs that nobody else wants to work on. I’m patient and considerate and I take great care with my written correspondance. In short, I think I’m the right fit for your junior support programmer job.

Recent Work

OC Transpo Network

Bronson Ave. & Somerset St. (20090602)

The OC Transpo Network shows you when the bus arrives at your stop.

I built this site because I was frustrated with the official transit services in Ottawa. I wanted to bookmark any bus stop in the city and receive pages that were optimized for now.

The state of North Dakota
Has to fill its quota
To separate the girls from the boys
And keep the trouble outta Illinois
