Registered on August 26th, 2010. The start of this journey was actually back in 2008 working as a Security guard. Wanting more of a challenge, he taught himself HTML, CSS2 and Javascript and the rest - is history. It’s been 12 years in the web development space and I enjoy every minute of it.
Starting out as a PHP (LAMP) developer (you guessed it, WordPress…) but around 2015 I took an interest in Information Dashboard design and data visualization using JavaScript as well as becoming more proficient using Node.js both for pipeline and for building applications (MExN & JAM stacks).
Our professional portfolio includes international ad agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi and Upcoming Media, local bioinformatics and technology startups like Cyclica and I am currently helping the cause at SickKids Foundation full-time.
