Technical architect
Over 13 years of commercial software development, spanning across all elements of the development process. From project planning and technical architecture, through to server builds for complex digital solutions, core development, testing and delivery.
I am a natural problem solver, extremely ambitious and self-motivated, open to hear about the next opportunity to help organisations with digital projects of any scale.
See my portfolio for examples of my work.
Language agnostic
I don’t know just one single programming language. I know how to produce clean code.
PHP has always been there, alongside it’s front-end pals HTML, CSS and JavaScript but I did C++ and Java at University and build React, Ionic and Angular apps. I switch frameworks at the drop of a hat.
Most of my server-side skills have been on physical/hybrid solutions but I’m quickly adapting the learnings over to AWS. Same theory, new words.
Recently achieved AWS Cloud Practitioner followed by Solutions Architect Associate certifications. Aiming to take the Professional exam next year.
