About

Welcome to my website. I'm a PHP developer and work primarily with the Laravel framework. When not working the day job, I enjoy contributing to open source projects, including:

• Ghost
• Packagist
• PestPHP
• Elephpant.me
• SaloonPHP

Back when Twitter, or X, as it's now known, gave a damn about developers, I also build a handful of bots, there's only 2 that are surviving:

• OctocatBot
• NandocaBot

I've also done some work for TrueAchievements such as the being involved in the Xbox One app, dark theme, gamercards, splash screen and more. I also acted as the Bug Reports manager.

I'm the maintainer of a bunch of Open Source Packages too, so feel free to check them out:

• Faker Stripe
• Laravel Uninspire
• Lawman
• Profanify

I've been lucky enough to have my work featured on Laravel News too!

Outside of programming, I'm really into music and spent a lot of time listening to my favourite bands, primarily within the rock/metal world. I'm also an avid gamer and will give any genre a try (other than sports, I've accepted I will always be terrible at them). I primarily game on my Xbox Series X but I occasionally jump on Hearthstone and Warcraft Rumble on my phone and World of Tanks on my Macbook.

Finally, outside of technology all together, I enjoy trying out new eateries around where I live. I especially like Indian, Italian, Chinese and pretty much anything with chicken! I'm also a Geocacher and try to get out and about once a week finding caches closest to my house and then working further afield.
