A highly experienced Senior PHP/Laravel engineer, I have delivered projects including SAAS, Websites and Webstores in multiple sectors. I have a strong background in project design, development, and crafting engaging user experiences for some really great companies.
My strength lies in engaging stakeholders to fully understand project requirements, expectations, timescales, and potential areas of concern. I then guide their project through the design, development, and deployment cycles to create great things as part of a great team.
Starting my career in game development as an artist/animator, I began programming to enhance my graphics, developing algorithms for naturalistic landscapes, flocking, and forest growth. Quickly becoming obsessed with code, I soon transitioned to full-time development roles, creating websites, apps, and games for several design agencies including Burrows (Y&R/Wunderman). As part of the team that created the ‘Car Configurator’ for ford.co.uk and most recently as a senior engineer, I have been solving some of the biggest challenges facing the UK's property sector such as climate risk and compliance.
In my spare time, I am a husband and father with a passion for fine arts, street art, and roller-coaster theme parks.
My preferred stack for rapid development from prototyping, POC's, and MVP's through to production-ready services is the TALLstack + Vue, but I will include other tech-stacks where beneficial to a project.
