Brief

I have been web developing for a number of years, building my first website at the age of 14. Starting off building simple sites for fun using Microsoft Front Page then later moving on to Dreamweaver to now using PHP Storm. At the age of 15 Using HTML/CSS and PHP/MySQL I built a small social network and local events website.

College

Going straight from school to college to study ICT Software Development, I broadened my knowledge in software programming learning how to create small programs using Visual Basic and the basics of c++.

Career

Once finishing college I started a job as a computer technician, however after a year with a lack of work I was forced to leave. Working independently, I became a freelance web developer, developing websites for a film production company and a Indian restaurant (Hurley Spice).
A job arose in a jewellery company (Alba Rose) as a junior web developer where I joined a small team of 2 senior web developers, learning all about laravel and web developing commercially.
I then landed a more senior role for a local company where I managed servers, clients and developed websites mainly using wordpress.
After 2 years I decided to move back to developing sites using Laravel, which is what I am currently doing. Building Shops & CMS's for large organisations.
