What kind of person do you want to work with?

In a nutshell

I love my work! I spend 10-12 hours a day in "work mode". I get an obnoxious amount of joy from making something appear on a computer screen. The power to create useful and beautiful things is beyond rewarding. I've been making such things on the internet since 2008.

Work with me!

Because I love coding and I care about creating the best possible programs I can. Because I love learning and sharing new skills. I govern a genuine desire to understand people and their needs. I'm passionate, punctual, patient and professional. And because being of service to others makes me the happiest.

I also harbour a robust sense of humour and a calm and courteous state of being (for the most part).

    Silence.

    Snowboarding through a forest on fresh powder.

    A long drive in the autumn while listening to Lo-fi instrumental hip hop.

    Listening to Shigeru Umbayeshi on a rainy day with a cup of dark roast and a splash of Irish cream.

    Playing a beautiful indie puzzle-platform video game with a bag of Waterbridge Funmix.
