I am currently working remotely as a contract web developer for Sunny Side Up (www.sunnysideup.co.nz) - a Wellington-based web development company, while still living in Dunedin NZ. I am also a father, partner, cricket and Bitcoin enthusiast. I'm also a fan of the 'under-dog' - Leicester's title win in the 2016 EPL is the best example I have seen to date, followed by Japan's narrow win against the
Springboks in the 2015 RWC. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology and a total of two years work experience. My main speciality is back-end web development; however, I am flexible and am willing to try new things. I love to code in my spare time, and also manage my own Linux-based servers. My current framework of choice is Laravel, and favourite language is PHP. I also am very interested in Java, C #, Ruby on Rails, and HTML/CSS/JQuery. When developing web development projects, I like to use Composer - in combination with Bower, Grunt, and Node Package Manager. Very recently, I have taken a liking to BackboneJS - for which I plan to use in my latest personal project. I have solid organisation and time management skills, am very thorough, like to consider multiple solutions from many angles, and genuinely want to use my skills to benefit others. I also love working in an Agile environment with frequent collaboration between team members, management, and clients. Ideally, I would like my role to be in the South Island - I am also open to remote working from home. If you want to find out more about me, you can visit the following sites below:
