About Me

I’m a software engineer who’s worked for numerous tech companies, including a Fortune 500 telecoms company. Throughout my career, I have pioneered best practices, survived company downsizing, and generated ideas for products, projects and teams.

My core skills are in web development, specifically back-end development such as web frameworks, PHP, Java, and with a dash of the webby stuff like HTML/CSS. I've done that for nearly 10 years.

Now that my Masters in Human Computer Interaction is over, I am pursuing my interests in developing great web experiences by applying the stuff I've learnt about user experience, interaction design, usability, design, and plain common sense.

I have a PMP certification and have managed numerous projects, but so can anyone else. There should be a Get Stuff Done qualification because that's what most companies hire people to do.

My current role as CTO of GetItWithMe.com involves building stuff, making things work, and creating pleasurable experiences.

Interests
Web usability, interaction design, user experience, photography, social media
Goals
  1. Complete my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction
  2. Get into the HCI industry
  3. Plug myself into a rewarding career
  4. Educate others in their careers
