Sean Young is the lead developer for a company based in Johannesburg, South Africa. His experience includes development of web applications using ASP, Java, and PHP. He also has experience in C++ and has developed several applications in this language, including a fully-fledged mail server.

His more recent projects include a web portal that allows users with no HTML knowledge to design and manage content on their own web sites. The application allows them to simply copy content from any office document, such as MS Word, or Excel and paste it into their web page.

The portal offers many features, including secure secure file download, and a custom form design interface that allows users to design their own forms on the fly. The form information is mailed to a specified recipient each time it is submitted.
