About Me

Late last year I decided to move back to Australia after spending a few years over seas. Part of that move was to make a career change. I have always been a hobbyist programmer, but I wanted to make the next step.

Experience

I am currently working as a freelance web designer, and fullstack developer

Before

Previously I was working in aviation managing engine repairs for 737s. Also spent over a decade working with some of the world's top chef's as a Sommelier (Shannon Bennet, Gordon Ramsay, Guillaume Brahimi, Phillipe Mouchel)
