ABOUT I am a versatile website programmer with 16 years of full time experience working at the heart of the Exeter web development community. I am interested in the whole design process from requirements analysis, negotiating with customers and comprehensive project planning, right through to actual implementation and creation of a functional system. I’m a real believer in simple English (I promise to only use jargon where appropriate) and believe in concise documentation with clear meaning. I’m a people person and a good communicator. I work well with others and enjoy being part of a team.
WHERE I LIVE I’m based in Exeter and love the West Country. I would ideally like to stay here, however if the right opportunity arose I would consider relocation. It’s just the right balance of being near the city, near the sea and near the countryside for me as outside of work I’m quite an active person.
INTERESTS I love cycling and running I used to be an amateur racing cyclist and did well in local cycle sporting events. These days I do more running and have am due to complete my first marathon in Berlin 2016. My other big interest is old video games. Being on the end of the 8 bit generation I love the Commodore 64 and original Nintendo and still have well cared for original equipment that gets regular play time. I also love making new retro style games for fun when time allows.
SKILLS OK now for the jargon! Hopefully some of these skills tick your boxes.
