About

Hey, I'm Jon 👋

I'm a PHP Developer and work primarily with the Laravel framework. When not working the day job as a DevOps Engineer, I enjoy contributing to open source projects whether it be working on my own, or contributing to others.

I'm the maintainer of a bunch of Open Source Packages:

• 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. Lastly, I also enjoy taking my Dachshund, Sydney, for a walk!
