Full-stack Developer

about

Back in 2006 I started playing EverQuest with my Dad on his "work computer". Since then on I have been obsessed with video games, tech, and programming.


After many years (and too many games of StarCraft 2) I decided to study Computer Games Programming at the University of Northampton.


It turns out that making video games isn't quite as fun as playing them! Instead I discovered my passion was in databases and web development.


Fast forward today and I have had the privilege to work in such roles as DBA, support engineer, and currently a Full Stack Developer at Dentsu.
