Web Software Engineer
I solve business problems with robust, well designed & tested software solutions. I have been working with PHP for over 10 years and take an active interest in researching and utilising the latest technologies & best practices in the industry.
I love Composer & Packagist, the structure & ecosystem they bring to modern PHP application development. Over the years I have used various frameworks, most recently Laravel & Symfony. Where possible I like to contribute to open source projects, including the Laravel core & docs. I have also released Laravel extensions to implement missing functionality for my projects.
Whilst I slightly prefer backend development and have extensive experience working with databases, I have lots of experience with the frontend and most recently Vue.js. Naturally I work with HTML5, CSS/SASS, lots of Javascript (ES6), and have developed frontend build tools for development teams using webpack.
From a devops perspective I have been working with Ubuntu across the full stack since its first release, deploying and supporting apps, including lots of experience with AWS, Heroku, & Digital Ocean.
I am involved with the PHP, Laravel, and Vue.js communities including regular meet-ups. In 2016 I gave my first talk and wish to explore this further in 2017.
