About Me

I'm a professional UK-based software engineer and web developer, working in the West Midlands. I live with my rather beautiful girlfriend Marie.

Technical Background

I work with PHP and Ruby on a daily basis, and I'm also teaching myself Objective-C so I can build an iPhone app and retire off the profits (I'm also hoping to win the Lottery one of these days, it must be my turn by now).

I've worked on a variety of projects ranging from simple static websites, through CMS-driven websites for brands you may have heard of, and I'm currently working on complex data-driven web applications for international arts venues. I'm currently working for Made Media.

I'm a Mac user by choice, although most of my projects are deployed on Linux servers. I don't avoid Windows, but I don't use it except to play games that won't run on Mac OS X. I'm happy I don't have to use Windows 8.

My Projects

This is a reasonably comprehensive list of the projects I've worked on over the last 6 years. Unfortunately, not all of the websites I've built are still online. Those are noted.
