My Web Development career was build on PHP, creating websites for financial services. Since then I have also worked in the marketing sector, working with Big Data while doing search engine analysis. During this time I learnt how to work with the cloud and build auto-scaling systems. I have also gone on to run a team of developers, teaching them the best practices and API first approaches that I have learn throughout my years of experience.
I now use many languages and technologies to achieve the objectives that come before me. I'm a big advocate of using well-tested pre-existing code where possible, not over complicating things, and writing well-tested code that can be used elsewhere. Using CI tools to do so. I also take a progressive enhancement approach to most external projects, appeal to the majority and add the fancy bits for those that can see them. The web is a very accessible space, websites should be too.
In my spare time I'm a keen photographer and general aviation pilot. I have done several aviation photography contracts, amongst other photography projects. Links to photography work can be found in the social and photography section.
