Hi,

I'm an ex-computer technician who loves building things with code.

Born and raised in the south west of Australia, I got my first taste of web development when I was 12 years old. A spark was ignited in me, creating fan sites for my favourite TV shows and bands. Then school and life happened. Several years later, in my previous career.. I remembered how I loved developing websites. Therefore, I jumped right into PHP, getting hooked and entralled with it in my spare time. After some suggestions from those in the industry, I started as a WordPress developer.

For the last few years, I've expanded my skillset towards JavaScript technologies like React, Next.js, Svelte and Vue.js. My side project, Color Alias, was created with Svelte and this website was created with Next.js.

Currently working as a freelancer and the primary web developer for Campaign Edge Sprout for many years now.

I have developed all sorts of websites from fully fledged eCommerce websites to single page apps. These include websites for big events, small to large businesses, organisations, sport teams, government agencies and federal politicians.

Working on my side projects is also a small passion of mine, it allows me to improve my skills and a chance to experiment without the constraints of timelines and budgets.

In my spare time... you'll find me either learning Turkish badly, telling my wife lame jokes, supporting my beloved West Coast Eagles or hanging with my pets.
