About me

Profile Image

I've been an IT consultant for the last 5 years and in that time, I’ve worked with a range of technologies across multiple development stacks. I was most recently contracted as a SDET supporting a production-level application in the hospitality industry. As passionate as I am for writing code to test applications, my true aspiration is to be the person who is helping to write the applications themselves.

Like many developers, I find the "Ah ha!" feeling of solving a complex problem completely addictive. But what I love the most about code is that it makes you the master of a tiny piece of the universe, free to - Create, Read, Update, Destroy - as you will (pun intended).

I embrace the challenging nature of programming - solving problems - trying, failing and trying again - asking for help *gasp* - because it provides a rich opportunity to learn and understand things just a little better each time.
