Coding in PHP is where I'm strongest, though I'm comfortable working with front-end technologies too. For the past few years, I've been using the Laravel framework, and its been a breath of fresh air.
Product Management
I've been working as a Product Manager for the last three years, and through this role I have been responsible for the product strategy, roadmap and the collection/collation of user feedback.
Project Management
Ability to work to and enforce deadlines with task prioritisation and backlog management. Planned and implemented multiple complex projects in coordination with the rest of the development team.
gaming & esports
Gaming has been a large part of my life, both as a hobby and as my career. I first got involved with esports in 2004 as a volunteer and I haven't looked back since. I've been developing esports websites for the past ten years.
