About

I live in Auckland, New Zealand and work as a Software Engineer for World Wide Access, we have developed a ready-made export sales channel that can take NZ products to large overseas markets quickly and easily. I am currently working primarily on Magento Development projects but my experience ranges from utility billing and CIS implementations through to wifi internet billing solutions.

On the technology front I work with Java if I can, I’m currently working with PHP and have to deal with some fairly brain dead features, I’m going to start keeping a list, the first one is the @ symbol!

I’ve been using Linux for a long time now, I’m a big fan of Ubuntu. If I find time I’ll periodically add some notes about Linux on this blog too, but for now at least the main focus will be web development.

I offer a small range of services such as Magento Development and Magento installations, contact me to find out more.

When I can get away from a computer I am training for a marathon, and learning to wakeboard. You can see some action shots on my photos page.

You can see what kind of music I like since I started using the last.fm scrobbler with itunes.

I’d be really interested to hear feedback on this blog, it’s a work-in-progress, so I appreciate your thoughts!
