Skills

I've been creating websites for over nine years, about five of which are with PHP and three with Laravel. I favour object-oriented code, and I love working with a Git-based workflow. I've studied computer science and taken programming classes since I was young, equipping me with a solid foundation to quickly pick up new languages and frameworks, and to actually understand the code I'm writing.
