I am a passionate developer with 10+ years commercial experience and 360° skills in the design, development and maintenance of modern, user centred as well as enterprise-scale web applications on both *nix and Microsoft platforms, with a strong interest in performance, scalability, security and search engine optimisation.

Besides work, I live in London with my wife and our little baby daughter. I love boxing, martial arts, and good food!
