Born and raised in Bolton, England, I am a keen developer of online applications and media.

What began as a hobby in my spare time quickly grew into a desired career and after completing A-Levels at Thornleigh Salesian College, I enrolled on the Multimedia & Website Development course at The University of Bolton.

During my time at the University, I began to learn more about the web industry, picking up languages such as PHP, MySQL, ASP.NET and many more along the way. Such was my desire to succeed in the business, I continued to further my knowledge of PHP and MySQL by building online content in my own time.

In the winter of 2008, my skills were recognised when I received temporary employment at Bolton based company, Purepages Group.

In July 2011, I graduated from University with Second Class Honours, two years after completing a Higher National Diploma on the same course.

Since graduating, I am currently searching for full-time employment in the industry but will also consider short-term projects to complete on a freelance basis.
