    Bio

    I’m a pretty well rounded web & software developer with experience in PHP, NodeJs, MYSQL, MongoDb and the rest of the stack, Javascript/Gulp, CSS/SASS, etc. In more recent years, loving ReactJs, GIT and playing with Bash.

    I can slot in almost anywhere and rather quickly, versatility being one of my strengths. I have a massive passion for what I do and a never dwindling enthusiasm to learn, grow and push boundaries. WordPress has been my career incubator and I love giving back wherever possible.

    I run my own little business (really, mostly just me) focused on delivering clean and structured code with a commitment to client service. I might not, nor ever be the best but continuously strive towards it and I might not always have the answers but I do have unwavering confidence in my thinking and problem solving abilities to always get the job done and done well!
