About

Professional Progression

My technology journey started from a young age where my Grandfather introduced me to gaming on Windows 95. From there I ended up in a coding camp (Ubertweak) where I learned Python and got my first email. I left that camp with a huge passion for coding and progressed quickly to building websites in PHP. Fast forward a few years and I've had the privilege of working on projects with large amounts of traffic, migrating monolithic applications to microservices and implmenting a wide variety of solutions in multiple languages.

Personal Progression

I've always loved music, and loved worshiping God. So for as long as I can remember, I've wanted to learn more about God and teach others about his wonderful and unending grace and mercy. When I was 17 I left school and tried TAFE and University but didn't do well at either because what I really wanted to do is serve The Lord by going to bible college.I strongly believe that a worthy calling from God is having a job and doing your best in it. Godly discipleship for men is my extra-curricular calling.
