I'm a senior backend developer that's passionate about Agile software engineering, domain driven development, software craftsmanship and behaviour/test driven development.

I have worked on a range of Agile software projects as a contractor for some of the best know global brands including the BBC, Toyota, Olympics 2012, GOV.UK and Financial Times Group. I have also contracted for agencies with a range of clients from startups to blue chip companies.

I'm more than comfortable with full stack development and devops roles but am most at home as a lead/senior backend developer with experience of application architecture, defining coding standards, continuous development, best practices and mentoring junior developers.

I have worked with a range of languages (Java, C#, Perl, Python, Javascript) and frameworks (Laravel, Spring, Struts) but am focused on PHP and Zend Framework 2.0 and Symfony.
