    Bio

    Hey!

    I’m a back-end developer so I love playing around with APIs, payment gateways, servers and security.

    I help organise the WordPress Sydney meetup and WordCamp Sydney. Come along and say hi.

    Interests

    My passion is back-end development and being a business mentor to others.

    I’m happiest developing and working with plugins, APIs, payment gateways and membership sites.

    In my spare time, I help organise the WordPress Sydney meetup group, WordCamp Sydney, WP Australia and I am an active member of Linux Australia.
