about me
I am a Lead Software Dev for a company that creates Healthcare Applications for New Zealand Practices and Clinics. Before, I was a Freelancer(Web Dev) that worked for various companies and sharpended my skills to develop high quality websites.
Most of my development roles depend on the company that I work in. The first year of being a web developer, my role was a Website Implementor, it was more like a junior web developer / intern. Then I got promoted and became a CMS Developer, at that time we were using Adobe Business Catalyst as a platform for making websites.
Now, I am more of a Fullstack web developer, I do most of the front and backend task in creating a website, from converting a web design to a functional website using the latest front end development tools like HTML5, CSS3, jQuery and latest javascript frameworks (nodeJS, reactJS). I still use CMS like WordPress and Adobe Business Catalyst, but most of my projects are in Wordpress since my clients prefer to edit their websites when I finish developing them.
Currently, I am working as a lead software developer focusing more on backend coding. My current employer, Procon NZ, creates software apps for used in Healthcare. These apps focus more on PHP and javascript with MySQL as database. I cannot display the apps on my portfolio for confidentiality purposes.
Displayed on this website is my personal works and client works (as far as I remember them). Hope you enjoy viewing my personal resume-type website.

portfolio
as I have become a Software Developer for New Zealand Healthcare applications, I don't have a portfolio that is available to view publicly as most of them are used in a PMS (Practice Management System) or accessible by invite only.
below were my notable web projects from 2017, some of which are no longer accessible or have moved to a modern look.
