I've been developing software commercially since 1998, and a hobby programmer since my childhood. Previous clients and work experience include DHL, Securicor Omega Express, Capscan, Monsternett AS, The Restaurant Zone LLC, Sunfly, Dooster, Claims4Free and more. I'm a native English speaker, originally from London and currently living in Barcelona, Spain (CET).


    WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE ME?

    In addition to my coding skills and experience, I believe in offering a complete service to my clients and aim to be your 'swiss army knife' when it comes to software. I'm more than just a coder for hire, I can also handle architecture and design as well as deployment, maintenance and support. I can provide consultation on your ideas, and build them into a full development plan and manage or work with larger teams when needed.

    All of my clients receive my private contact details and can reach me directly, and often instantly whenever they need me. No middle men, agency or answering services, you get to talk directly to the person working on your code. I offer a flexibility towards my clients needs that is hard to find in this industry and will happily adapt my working hours to suit your needs, whether you need just a few hours every now and then, or a huge dedicated burst to meet a deadline, you'll find you can count on me to deliver.

    Not only do I pride myself on producing clean, robust test-driven and fully linted code, but because it's second nature to me I can also do this fast and efficiently. I'm confident that you'll not only receive outstanding results, but as my many repeat clients will agree, you'll end up getting a fantastic all round service.

    I'm also very picky about the projects I choose to bid on, only pursuing ones that I feel will be truly engaging over the long term. By doing this you'll find that I throw myself into my work like nobody else. You'll find that you'll get not just a developer, but an individual who's genuinely passionate about what he does and someone you can rely on to handle every technical aspect of your project from start to finish and beyond if needed.


    EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

    I am widely experienced in several areas of software development having undertaken a large range of jobs over the years from traditional desktop applications to modern cloud and mobile based technologies. My speciality areas include:

    - Back end web and application development with Python / Django / Flask.
    - Front end web and single page development with Javascript and Typescript (inc JQuery, Angular, Bootstrap).
    - Web development and administration with PHP (inc Yii & Symfony).
    - Mobile application development with Java, C, Python and / or Javascript with Cordova / PhoneGap / Appcelerator
    - Cross platform desktop application development including Windows, Mac, Linux and Android using C++, Java and more recently Javascript with Atom / Electron.
    - Unity 3D / C# / Unreal engine game development.

    Other key skills include the following:

    - Test driven development as standard
    - Code profiling and optimization (particularly for high traffic sites)
    - Docker & Vagrant
    - Amazon Web Services
    - Bootstrap
    - SQL, Database design deployment and scaling (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL solutions such as Apache Cassandra)
    - Multimedia Processing & Delivery (inc working with Flash Media Server, Wowza and WMS, as well as developing custom media processing and playback solutions in C++, Flash & Silverlight)

    I am a strong supporter of open source technologies and use Linux as my primary work platform. In addition to Linux, I also have significant development experience on Windows and many Windows specific toolchains such as Visual Studio as well as moderate experience with both desktop and mobile application development on OSX.

    I am happy to consider projects of all shapes and sizes, and pride myself on offering a fast, friendly and reliable service, and am always happy to push the extra mile for you. Programming has been my passion from an early age and I take great pride in the work I provide, always aiming to perceive the long term goals of any project and avoiding shortcuts in order to build the best product possible.
