Working within a small team to build and maintain the Kompli code base. This involves careful team collaboration using an agile working approach.

My role at Kompli is a predominantly building and maintaining the back-end of the code base with PHP 7, using Zend Framework within MVC architecture. The remainder of time is spent designing and building the user facing GUI with backboneJS. In addition to this I do occasionally get involved with the data team, which has given me some hands on experience using SQL.

Hobbies


The Great Outdoors

In my free time I enjoy walking the mountains of Snowdonia, riding my bike along the coastal paths or taking pictures of the night sky.

Tech Obsessed

When indoors I love to keep up to date with cutting edge technologies by reading online articles or watching videos. I do also enjoy a video game or two.

Music

On weekends I frequent live music events, be it a rock band or a DJ. Living in Manchester allows me to see an abundance of up and coming talent.
