ABOUT ME
Friendly, pragmatic programmer - here to help you deliver software that delivers value
Friendly, pragmatic programmer - here to help you deliver software that delivers value

I'm a friendly, pragmatic programmer with more than 15 years' professional experience and an excellent track record in delivering quality, maintainable code in a range of sectors.

An expert in Java, Ruby and Javascript languages, I'm also an agile specialist, coach and mentor with a huge amount of pair programming experience. I love pairing with developers who I can impart some of my experience to and learn from as well! My preferred approach is test-driven and I'm able to start quickly and help you and your team deliver real value from the first session.

I've built busy online shops, international job boards, public sector applications and back-end-only apps for companies in the UK, Canada, the US, Europe and Australia. I also contribute regularly to open source projects.
