ABOUT ME
Full Stack Web Developer of 7 years, Programmer of 9 years
Full Stack Web Developer of 7 years, Programmer of 9 years

I've been a Web Developer of 7 years, working on websites in both Chinese and English. I primarily work with PHP/Laravel5, Javascript, SCSS, MySQL and HTML, as well as using gulp within my workflow. I occasionally like to dabble on codepen at http://codepen.io/Naito/ .

I started teaching myself programming in 2008 at the age of 13, starting with Lua, but have since learnt and worked with C, C#, Java and Python. I primarily make my projects in C# and have participated in 3 Game Jams using XNA.

I love creating things especially from scratch which is probably why I love coding, (it is perhaps my biggest hobby) but I also really enjoy helping and teaching people. I've been helping people learn programming whilst at Sixth Form and University and I'd like to think I've gotten pretty good at it, so I look forward to hopefully helping more people in the future.

Learnt Java at University, picked it up quickly due to previous experience with C#. I spent a lot of time also assisting and teaching fellow course mates and therefore have a lot of experience mentoring people in Java.

Web Developer for 6 years. I now mainly use SCSS to write my CSS. I used to also design websites that required support of Internet Explorer 7 and so have a fairly good grasp on backwards compatability, although I do enjoy taking advantage of the more modern features of the web with CSS3 and HTML5. I enjoy experimenting on Codepen at http://codepen.io/Naito/ where I play with canvases or making Javascript-less interactive pages

Web Developer for 6 years. Although I used to mainly use JQuery, I have also learnt vanilla Javascript following DRY and modifying my code so it is more optimised. I enjoy experimenting occasionally on Codepen at http://codepen.io/Naito/

Adam was very knowledgeable about Laravel and JS/jquery. He understood my needs perfectly and was able to step me through the solutions. Also taking some time at the end of the session to provide some advise moving forward for my development. Thanks, Adam, I'm sure we will be in contact again soon, as I progress with my project.
