Quick Intro

I’ve been doing Web Development for over 15 years now… wow! It has been a while My career has been mainly focused on eCommerce development so far, working with Magento since 2008, and prior to that I was doing front-end development on an in-house eCommerce framework written in Python, pretty much right out of University (I dropped out from my Bachelor of Computer Science at Sydney University). I have forgotten much of Python though.

Developing in JavaScript has been a lot of fun for me throughout 2015, especially the Node.js stuff. I’ve published a few packages on NPM too.

Some certificates I’ve gained over the years

I'm primarily a Magento Developer living in Melbourne, Australia. The eCommerce systems I've been involved with generate an estimated AUD 150M+ each year. JavaScript and Hybrid Mobile App Development is another passion of mine - React, Angular, Ionic etc. I'm a firm believer that Meteor is the future.
