My History & Profile

In 2007, after six years as a labourer and landscaper/gardener, I decided to work towards my true passion - to work towards becoming a fully qualified web designer and developer. Back then I already knew the road to becoming a fully qualified web developer would be long, but the thrill of learning and building new skills in an exiting and growing industry kept me going. Five years on from that switch in careers, my passion for the web development industry remains stronger than ever. Back to top

After two years of studying Computer Science at the University of Otago, I converted to a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology in February 2012 - which I expect to complete in 2013/2014. My main focus is web development, although I am learning other vital skills such as project management and professional practice. At the same institution I also have learned PC Maintenance, and I have obtained a CISCO certificate in I.T Essentials. Back to top

In 2012, I managed to maintain a B+ average across all the seven papers I studied in that year - including two projects where I obtained a 100% mark, and a semester-long project where my group achieved a 90% pass. Back to top
