Interests

I am interested in creating flexible, maintainable and elegant code. I am constantly looking to improve my own development process. Zend Framework, Test Driven Development and Continuous Integration are examples of areas I would love to learn more about and introduce in to my own workflow.

Furthermore I have a keen interest in emerging web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, the semantic web, microformats and web standards.

Outside of work I enjoy watching and playing football, seeing a good film, listening to good music and spending time with my son George
