I'm a full-stack software developer building and maintaining enterprise applications for the public sector. To further develop myself, I also participate in a number of free-lance projects under my own entity.

The technologies used from day-to-day can vary depending on the project requirement, but generally include the core group: C#, T-SQL, HTML, CSS and Javascript. Along with maintaining three in-house frameworks, I regularly consume others such as the ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET WEB API, Entity Framework, Windsor, Sass, Bootstrap frameworks, but to name a few.

I'm also a firm believer in writing code that I'm proud of - SOLID object-oriented code, utilising design patterns where natural, with a test-driven approach where feasible.

I have also been, and continue to be the technical lead for a Team Foundation Server 2015 upgrade, implementation of TFS Build and Release Manager. This project involved a switch-over to the Git source control type, requiring a personally developed branching and release strategy (which I'll blog about very soon).

I'm a fan of Mark Seeman, aka Ploeh (author of Dependency Injection in .NET and the inventor of AutoFixture), along with others such as Jamie King (YouTube computer science hero: https://www.youtube.com/user/1kingja).

This profession is my passion, my hobby, and the catalyst for constant self-improvement.
