Available to hire
A jack of all trades, but a master of none, is probably better than a master of one. An eternal optimist, a self-taught computer science 1998 drop-out, internet pioneer, one time online marketing consultant and now… I am a 2025 graduate of a 32 week intensive Full Stack Developer Accelerator bootcamp at Mission Ready, and thus holding a Certificate in Digital Technology Product Solutions (Level 5 NZQA). During my study I gained valuable experience using industry standard modern software stacks – typically NodeJS backends, database management of MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, MS SQL Server or MongoDB datastores, coupled with a frontend built usually a framework such as React, VueJS, Ember or Svelte; and the use of tools such as Docker, Github, Figma, and Trello was also covered. Prior to COVID-19 I was integrating the API of The Rock Factory’s WordPress / WooCommerce site via Zapier with the CurrentRMS rental management system.
I am passionate about the art of complex software design and computer science, and I bring 25+ years of production experience across both old and modern stacks, from Linux server administration to modern front-end frameworks and cloud tools. In addition to development, I remain active as a drummer and musician, translating rhythm and creativity into collaborative, user-focused software projects.
