ABOUT ME

I've been building for the web since I was a teenager and have over a decade of experience -- but you never stop learning in this industry!

I'm most often found working with PHP, a language on which multiple high-traffic sites I've managed are built upon, but I have experience and proficiency in a wide-range of technical areas, from server management to cryptocurrency programming.

I'm enthusiastic about good quality code, user-experience, and helping people where possible.

I have 10 years of experience coding in PHP and still work with it daily.

I'm currently the CTO of a new startup making use of PHP7 and Laravel. I try my best to push PSR standards where I can, and am a regular attendee of PHP usergroups.

I have interviewed many dozens of candidates in my previous job, and so am confident in my ability to provide relevant feedback from the perspective of an employer. I was most-often interviewing for PHP-based roles but SEO based interviews were often common. I am happy to provide mock interviews.
