Summary
In my full-time job, I project manage all of our tech systems. We use mostly Laravel / PHP / VueJS, with some Node JS. I also take on additional freelance work, big or small. Please get in touch!
I've been teaching on YouTube for a number of years, and have since amassed over 60,000 followers and millions of views.
Here's some things I can help you with:
- Specific code problems you're having.
- Code reviews. Just because it works, doesn't mean it's good. I know what employers are looking for and can help you in this direction.
- Career advice & interview preparation.

I moved this traditionally paper-based company to a software-based system, which massively improved business efficiency, especially with staff working from home during coronavirus. I am the lead developer here.
Web Developer

PHP
jQuery

I rebuilt the company's website, quoting systems, and customer/staff portals from scratch using a more modern tech stack (Laravel).
This massively boosted conversion rates & sales numbers thanks to a much improved user experience. Also reduced the workload of customer service staff by building smart self-service features for customers.
