About Me

Self-taught and driven to find the best solutions. I am always looking to find the most effective and cleanest way of writing software. Trying to understand the whole process to deliver the best value for clients. Keen to learn and always curious. I take a simple over easy approach as I found this leads to better maintainability.

I have worked in development teams of all sizes, as well as on my own and I am comfortable working with developers of all abilities.

What I Do

Software can be hard to write and develop. Working in teams and being a team player helps reduce the friction.

Write Clean Code

The process that we undertake to write clean code is almost as implement as the code itself.

Maintain Servers

Maintaining code and servers is no easy task. I have first-hand experience in managing code and servers in production.

Solve Business Problems
