ABOUT ME
Experienced Web Dev with a passion for databases and solving problems!
Experienced Web Dev with a passion for databases and solving problems!
I've been using Laravel for the past few years and have been using PHP for 10+ years.
I love building web applications and like to solve particularly tricky problems. I really love databases (sad I know!) and nothing gives me more satisfaction than combining good database design with queries to get results out of the database fast!
I graduated from the University of Birmingham (UK) with a BSc in Computer Science (Hons) back in 2005.

I keep up with the latest changes PHP, such as the new syntax changes in PHP7.
I can help you spot "code smells" and provide refactoring advice. I have dealt with legacy code bases (back to PHP 5.2) and like the challenge of getting knee-deep in a problem.

I'm a details kind of guy. I've had to deal with real-time databases that are taking in 1,500,000 records a day. I love optimising queries and data structures to improve database performance.
Recently I have started deploying databases on Amazon Web Services - this brings it's own quirks and challenges, but is ultimately more flexible.

Coming from a background of solid MySQL and SQL Server knowledge, I have recently been using PostgreSQL. I can show you how it's a simple, robust system with some advanced features that MySQL and SQL Server are only just beginning to match.
It's time zone support is excellent and I've found it a really good basis for apps that span multiple time zones.

In my previous work and current projects I use Laravel. I've used versions from 4 through to the latest (5.5).
In particular some of my projects are multi-tenant based and I've come up with some strategies to come with the design challenges this poses.
As per my SQL experience, I'm really strong in working out the best way to model your Laravel app to keep your PHP code as simple as possible

I've started building front ends using Vue to improve user interface design.
While I wouldn't profess to being an expert at Javascript, I can happily build a model and base UI components around it.
