Hi, Hello, Welcome!
I'm a Fullstack Developer by day, and a father and husband by night.
I spend 80% of my time working on websites, APIs, and integrations, and the other 20% working on infrastructure and other ops related projects/tasks.
I'm based out of Brisbane, Australia, and work predominantly with PHP (Laravel), VueJS, Tailwind CSS, and (some) Golang.
I currently work as the sole developer of the Grainfather website and API, and take lead on the infrastructure supporting this.
