About me
Are you looking for a seasoned developer with a genuine passion for coding? Look no further! With over two decades of experience in the industry, programming is not just my profession—it's my source of focus and freedom. As someone with ADHD, I’ve found purpose and solace in the world of code. My journey began in 2007 during the beta testing phase of Magento, a platform that has since become a cornerstone of my career. Although I've worked with various other platforms, the versatility and potential of Magento captured my attention and set me on an exciting path. A perpetual learner at heart, I'm always exploring new technologies and expanding my knowledge. This commitment to growth ensures that I deliver cutting-edge solutions, whether it's troubleshooting, optimising performance, or developing innovative features. My goal is to exceed expectations and provide tailored, effective results for each project. In addition to my technical expertise, I am a strong advocate for neurodiversity. I understand the unique challenges that come with ADHD and am dedicated to fostering inclusive environments where everyone can thrive. Let’s connect! I’m excited to discuss how I can contribute to your development projects, offer guidance on Magento related challenges, or collaborate on innovative solutions. Feel free to reach out or explore my portfolio to learn more about my work.
