About me
Working hard to establish myself as a freelance/contract experienced backend software engineer, specialising in PHP, Laravel, API integration, devops, and sysadmin.
I am first and foremost a people-focused problem solver and I thrive on the intellectual challenge of identifying and applying relevant technical solutions to real world business problems. In this increasingly polarised world, I'm passionate about using tech for good. I am previously Head of Software Engineering for a London-based national telco, in which I built and managed a fully remote software team delivering cutting edge solutions for a rapidly growing ISP, and also IT Director / IT Manager.
I'm based in the North East near Middlesbrough, and I'm available for contract development work throughout the UK - but without the London day rates! Happy to discuss consultancy or collaboration with front end specialists, agencies, and creatives to support your projects.
