WELCOME
For over 7 years I've worked for big business, small agencies and
the Government creating websites and web-applications of all shapes and sizes
for desktop and mobile devices.
I've been lucky enough to offer my
knowledge and skills
to a diverse range of clients
working on anything from small-scale marketing campaigns to
enterprise-level Content Management Systems that
enabled people all over the world to control their regional
sites.
I've also created a few pet projects
in my spare time, but it's not all about the web.
I'm the proud owner of a Jack Russell Terrier called Pepper, a
fan of typography & architecture, love a
good beer
and a great cheese.
Those, alongside with being a guitar player when time permits and having a slight fascination with
gaming, tend to keep me busy.

Yii Tips →
June 2011 ~ I started a blog dedicated to the Yii PHP Framework.
It contains articles on how to tackle common issues,
hidden gems I've found & discussion of plug-ins developed by the community.

Postmark App for Classic ASP →
May 2011 ~
I worked on a Classic ASP site that required the use of a reliable, professional mailing
platform. Postmark
fit the bill perfectly, but there was no Classic ASP implementation available.
So here's potentially a world first!

Start a Band →
November 2010 ~ I created a project to start a band, using
social media to help spread the word. I'd like the band to play a mix of
classic R&B, motown and some good ol' dirty rock & roll, but I'm open to
offers. Join in →
