Hi Everyone! I am Full-Stack Web Developer from Scotland, currently living in the West Coast of Ireland. I been working with the Teachable platform for almost a decade and have developed dozens of Teachable sites and created Witness, a Social Proof application exclusively created for the Teachable platform (see it on the Teachable App Hub).

About Me

My short story

From Fedora to Teachable Expertise: Purple Hippo's journey began in 2014 with Fedora, the precursor to Teachable. An initial interest in online course creation led me to author a guide on using the Teachable platform. But with a full-time job and a growing family, I couldn't entirely devote myself to this passion—yet.

Ambassador to Full-time Developer: As the years passed, my bond with Teachable deepened. I joined their Ambassador program, helping premium plan members unlock the platform's full potential. And by March 2018, I had transitioned from a regular job to being a full-fledged web developer specializing in Teachable.

A Recognized Expert: Today, my expertise is not just recognized by clients but by Teachable itself. As a distinguished Teachable Expert, I occasionally collaborate directly with Teachable on partner projects, ensuring that educators get the best out of their platform.

What I Do
Landing
Pages

Probably 95% of my work revolves around creating landing pages for people like you who don't have the skill or the time to 'figure it out' themselves.

YouTube
Channel

As a way to diversify my income and increase my reach, I've re-started my YouTube channel. I'd be honoured and very happy if you'd check it out.

Web
Development

Yes, web development is an integral part of my business and skillset. I'm a full-stack developer, which means I can break a lot more things now.

Witness
Teachable App

Developed exclusively for Teachable, Witness is a Social Proof Application that shows 'pop-up' notifications when someone visits your site of OTHER people buying your courses.

Gaming

I love playing games with my kids (and usually losing on Bopl Battle for example). I've played Word of Warcraft for many years (and used to work at Blizzard until about 2017). I love a good session of Minecraft with the kids too as well as games such as Rimworld and 7-Days-to-Die.

Photography

Although, I don't get out as often as I used to, I enjoy walking with my camera looped around my arm. Maybe someday, I'll post some of my photographs online (I used to be a semi-professional baby photographer).

    HTML, CSS

    The bread and butter of my business. I can develop pretty much anything you can imagine so long as it can be hosted on a website.

    JavaScript

    JS gives the web 'wiiiings'. It's daunting to learn at first (especially being in my 40's when I started to 'relearn' it), but it's a lot of fun to work with. Over a weekend not long ago, I created a Space-Invaders game to show my kids that I could! 😀

    WordPress

    I've fully conversed in the admin side of WordPress. There's likely nothing that I'd get stuck with as I'm confident enough to just dig about in config files as needed to repair or update any problems that may arise.

  • 75%
    PHP, MYSQL

    It's used in WordPress, so I'm forced to keep sort of up-to-date, but it's not something I use every day.

    Python

    Something I dabble with from time to time or to solve a specific task.
