I have been coding and playing with servers since 2001. At this time I designed, built and maintained several websites in the online multiplayer gaming sector. I am an entrepreneur at heart and started a business at 19 which quickly became the largest online game server provider in Australia by the time I was 21. I later launched a second product to reduce latency/ping for MMO gamers predominantly for World of Warcraft which was also a small success.
In 2010, at 25 I decided it was time to move to London and get involved in the flourishing tech scene here. I started my career as a mid-level PHP developer but my role soon evolved as I showed an interest in picking up new skills. I became the Android developer for the same company, learning on the job and building and launching a production app for them. Later I taught myself Objective C and took over their iOS app. A few years on I was Lead Mobile Developer with a mobile team and a second team working on a new incubator product for a separate startup, and in 2013 they asked me to be their Tech Director.
In 2016 I moved on to become a development contractor/consultant which is what I continue with today and am still heavily involved in iOS and web development with a number of interesting side projects.
