The Basics
Who Am I?
A seasoned professional with a no-nonsense laid back mantra. I’m not a hipster, but I do like coffee, wear a beard and prefer to work barefooted.
I am also a dedicated father, devoted husband, and keeper of a sable coated border collie named Ozzie, who is always bothering me.
Core Skills
So, over the years I’ve found the time to explore a whole bunch of various languages over various platforms. Observe below an honest rating for just some of the household techie terms you may recognise.
Whats my story?
Before working in London, I studied Computing in a well established and highly regarded city of innovation, history and culture. A kingdom once known as The Jewel of the North and famed for its highly developed skills in pronunciation. Those who are lucky enough to have endeavoured it call it Hull.
From Hull to Manchester, I traveled east to west earning experience in web development, and acquiring skills in server-side and front-end toolsets for the design and implementation of web sites, content management systems and applications.
Equipped with the winning combination of experience and enthusiasm, I now enjoy London life working as a full time freelance web developer.
