I look after the in-house web development team, we are focused on building applications and websites for both external clients and the wider business. In my development capacity I am very much forward looking, always keen to integrate the latest technologies into projects. As a manager I embrace the power of the team, encouraging all of my staff to improve and push the boundaries of the builds we are working on and looking to develop in the future.As a team we are building using the Laravel 4 PHP framework coupled with AngularJS, and consuming the best web services the web has to offer.

Aug 1999 - Aug 2007
I was a Director at Net Magik for 8 years, it was here that I developed both my business and coding skills. I began building sites using PERL as the server side technology but quickly moved onto classic ASP during a build for FootballCV.com. I noticed that most of the sites I liked were being built using PHP so it didn't take long for me to move again and begin building sites as a LAMP stack.During my years with Net Magik, alongside my business partner we grew the start-up into a thriving digital company which is still trading today.
