I started writing code in 1991, creating programs on the family ZX Spectrum.

By 1999 I had written desktop applications in half a dozen different programming languages before discovering the arcane arts of the world wide web.

In 2001, after graduating high school, I decided on a career as a web developer/software engineer and started work as a freelance developer building websites for local small businesses.

In 2006 I took on my first permanent role as a web developer and junior sysadmin. Since then I have worked in dev teams, big and small, and as of 2023 have been part of the teams developing process automation at Swoop
