About Me

I have experience developing web applications since 2004, a 2:1 BSc (Honours) degree in Computer Science, Sitecore and Umbraco Certified Professional. I currently work for Dare as a backend .NET/Full Stack Developer servicing clients such as Diageo and Barclays.

Previously in the 9 and a half years as a backend Lead Developer at Aqueduct my core development skills focused on ASP.NET C# MVC, in particular working with Sitecore (6.5 through to 9.0.1 Helix), Umbraco 7 and Azure hosting.

Working with clients such as Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., Lloyd's of London, Tottenham Hotspur F.C., Sunderland A.F.C. (SAFC), Suzuki, Scope and previously Manchester City F.C. I have a proven ability to work in a fast paced agile agency environment using my own initiative, as part of a team and as a lead developer on projects.
