30th Mar 2012!
I have been working in web development for over 11 years with technologies such as PHP, JavaScript, MongoDB, MySQL, SQL Server, IIS, ASP and Apache.
In December 2002 I started up as an independent IT consultant specialising in delivering and maintaining web applications and also providing more general IT advice to many local SMEs. My main business focus was developing complex online systems including social networking, e-commerce and Intranet sites; acting as as software architect on the projects and as required I would recruit and manage contractors to work with me.
I am passionate about open source software and development and am always looking into new technology; most recently NodeJS and ZeroMQ. I have also published a few simple modules on NPM (twister and slicer). I am a Zend Certified Engineer and was the first Zend Certified Framework Engineer in the UK.
