Well I graduated college in 2009 with a B.Sc in Computer Science. I've been pretty much pursuing my career in Software Development ever since.
I've worked with people in entertainment, animation, fitness, finance and construction. Some of my work is listed below and what isn’t live I have GitHub links for.
I’m also a massive music fan which leads to days of putting down the keyboard and taking up the guitar and putting music together with my band.
I’m a huge Xbox fan and retro gaming fan (yes I still have a working Sega Megadrive) In my spare time that’s what gave me interest towards interactive development. Either that or get out on the bike and hit the roads for a few hours!
This is my main area of work and where I have built up my experience. I’ve always been a big fan of PHP so that is my chosen language coupled with Codeigniter for custom MVC codebases or WordPress depending on the project.
As a developer it’s important to have great problem solving skills. This is one area of my career I always try to improve. I do this by tackling complex coding problems and applying the best solution possible. Interactive applications are a great way to use these skills.
I studied multimedia programming in college which led into working with studios developing e-learning applications and game development using Unity and C#. Currently I work with Treehouse Republic on all these projects.
Keeping on top of new technologies, platforms, techniques and trends in the I.T. sector is something that I do as a developer and is crucial to keeping me up to date DZone is a great resource for this.!
