skillset
breakdown a simplified breakdown of
my skills across digital
media
I’ve bolstered front-end development teams for projects built in ASP.net, PHP(WordPress,Zend & ModX), Node.js and most recently AppEngine(python) environments. My css precompiler of choice is sass, though I’ve also spent a little time writing LESS. My browser of choice is most definitely Chrome.
In my spare time I try to live an active lifestyle. I like all things in the water (boating, wakeboarding, surfing & SCUBA diving). In summer I’m also partial to playing a spot of club/backyard/indoor cricket.
I like to distance swim, love dribbble’in, cycle-commute and enjoy all sorts of other fitness training.
