Summary
Web Development and CI/CD Engineer · Author / Publisher · Digital Mentor I've been developing software professionally since 1988. A lot of that time has been spent putting user interfaces (let's be honest - usually websites) in front of databases. If you need someone who has been in the web industry since before it was an industry (but who also keeps up to date with modern trends), then I could well be your man. More recently, I've been working on a lot of CI/CD stuff - particularly with GitHub Actions. In about 2000 I started talking and writing about my work. I'm a regular at various tech conferences (often delivering tutorials before or after the main conference) and I've written a few technical books over the last couple of decades. And, as you can tell, I've been working in the industry for a long time - for clients from the smallest internet start-ups to the largest investment banks. If your project needs help from someone with deep experience, then please get in touch. [I'm tired of requests for connections from people I don't know. If I click on your profile and it says you've been following me since this month. I'm not going to be interested. But here's a little test. If your message to me includes the title of one of my books, then I'll at least reply to you.]
