Hi there, I'm Mikey Clarke, and I’m a full-stack web developer. I've enjoyed professionally building fantastic web apps for two decades. I divide my attention between writing beautiful code, running marathons, riding motorbikes, writing wacky novels, hosting beach bonfires with friends, playing the guitar unconscionably badly, learning Portuguese, coding entirely too many personal projects, reading far too much, tramping, snowboarding, and generally just enjoying life. How about you? I’ve contributed to companies of all shapes and sizes, usually in either the Senior Developer or Lead Programmer role. I'll also happily pull my weight with devops/sysadmin tasks, chat with non-techy clients, troubleshoot their troubles and help un-confuse them about tech jargon, mentor junior developers and designers who might find our billion sub-fields of programming a bit daunting, and host a mean beer o'clock on Fridays.…Hi there, I'm Mikey Clarke, and I’m a full-stack web developer.
