Located near Townsville in North Queensland, I have over two decades of diverse web development/software engineering experience covering all the technical and management aspects of a project’s lifecycle from concept to go live. Project experience ranges from simple websites to Content Management Systems, B2B Websites and complex inhouse business systems designed for specific purposes.

My focus is on Full Stack Software Engineering and Web Development, particularly with React/Next.js.

On the front end, I have strong experience developing user interfaces using React and Angular frameworks, and I'm very proficient in all the fundamentals: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I enjoy taking designs from prototyping tools like Figma and bringing them to life with a focus on cross-browser compatibility and responsive, mobile-first development. I particularly enjoy using my Next.js competencies.

On the back end, I have significant experience with RESTful architectures, API creation, and integration. I've built solutions using technologies like Node.js, PHP, and MySQL. Additionally, my certification as an AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate underscores my ability to design and manage robust cloud infrastructure.

I am a strong believer in structured development, using Agile methodologies and code quality tools.
