I have developed a broad skillset over the years as a software developer. In particular, i specialise in Mobile Dev Ops, Custom Web Applications, Custom WordPress Websites, Graphic Design, Digital Marketing/SEO, Backend Technologies, Web Server Maintenance, Management/Delegation, Cloud Security, API Integrations & Identity and DevOps & CI/CD
Mobile Dev Ops
I develop iOS & Android mobile applications using Xcode and Android Studio. Specifically written in Swift for iOS and Java for Android. I deploy and manage apps/certificates on Google Play and Apple App Store as well as manage app store presence. Typically I write the backend in PHP and setup an API based transaction to the frontend using JSON calls. All transactions are done securely using api keys and other header security. To version the code, I use a local GIT, GitHub, Azure Devops GIT repositories.
Custom Web Applications
I design and develop custom web applications using Laravel, PHP and MySQL, ranging from enterprise business platforms and customer portals through to booking systems, APIs and bespoke business solutions. I build scalable applications using modern technologies such as WebSockets, Redis caching, background queues, scheduled jobs and event-driven architecture to deliver responsive and reliable user experiences. I follow Git-based development workflows with pull requests and managed DEV, TEST and PROD environments, alongside automated deployments and CI/CD pipelines. I have extensive experience integrating both REST and SOAP APIs using JSON and XML, working with services including the Australian Taxation Office (SBR), ConnectID, Stripe, Braintree, MYOB, ServiceM8, Datto, GreenID, Greentree, Google APIs and Microsoft Azure.
Custom WordPress Websites
I design and develop full custom WordPress websites; including custom themes, custom php plugins and payment integrations. When I build a website I focus on mobile optimisation, site performance and SEO optimisation. I currently manage over 50 websites, performing monthly website maintenance, security checks and backups. I develop adhoc requests to these websites from our ticketing portal and adhere to any errors that arises. I can develop up a well-designed and optimised WordPress website very quickly and efficiently.
Graphic Design
Strong knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe XD and Adobe Premiere. With experience in Figma, Adobe Audition and Adobe AfterEffects. These tools help me create professional website design, digital and print adverts, signage, tv adverts, brand print media, studio photography. My skillset allows me to get the best of both worths with designing and developing websites. My knowledge increased the speed in which I develop websites as I can edit and manipulate a vast majority of file types to my pleasing.
Digital Marketing & SEO
I perform website and content optimisation for SEO to improve search engine visibility; this includes off-site and on-site SEO. I manage social media accounts; creating content and graphics to then schedule across multiple platforms. Another skill is email marketing, I setup and create email marketing campains for clients using Mailchimp, MailerLite and Mailgun. I arrange digital and print advertising via Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram , TikTok or traditional print media. I manages Google My Business and Apple Maps business listings, as well as Google Analytics accounts.
Cloud & Infrastructure
I design, deploy and maintain cloud-hosted Linux infrastructure for modern web applications. Working primarily with Ubuntu virtual machines across Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and other cloud providers, I configure and manage NGINX, Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, Node.js, Composer and SSL certificates to build secure, high-performance hosting environments. I also implement automated deployments, server monitoring, DNS management, Cloudflare integration and performance optimisation, ensuring applications remain reliable, scalable and secure throughout their lifecycle.
Web Server Maintenance
Proficient with WHM, CPanel, CWP using Linux (CENTOS or Ubuntu), Plesk and bare VPS. Utilising features such as Lets Encrypt Auto SSL, Certbot, DNS management, Virtual Host setup, debugging error logs and more. Comfortable with LAMP and LEMP installs, Database upgrades, PHP upgrades and Package installs. Familiar with Apache, NGINX, PHP-FPM, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin, SFTP tools, SSH tools and more. I am in charge of DNS managing, typically using Cloudflare, GoDaddy or our private DNS nameservers.
Management & Delegation
I have typically worked quite autonomously, getting the required work done with little instruction needed. However, I have recently been put in a leadership role, delegating work, mentoring and teaching whilst also doing project work. In the past, I have used Autotask ticketing system to delegate work and keep track of time and billing. Nowadays, replying on Azure DevOps to project manage. I will tend to communicate directly with the client/vendor via phone or email, if there further development queries are needed to complete the project or task.
Cloud Security
With cyber threats only getting worse, security has become a necessary skill to obtain. I proficient in utilising technologies such as Web Application Firewalls, DDoS prevention, Whitelisting, Traffic Rules , Proxies and more. I’m required to code under strict protocols, peer code review, adhere to conventions, keep packages updated, use CSP, use encryption, use ssh keys, and more. I heavily utilise technologies such as Cloudflare and system firewalls to further monitor security. I have also implemented/adhere to security controls for IRAP and ISO.
API Integrations & Identity
I specialise in integrating complex third-party APIs, ranging from payment gateways and identity verification providers through to Australian Government services. I have extensive experience designing secure REST and SOAP integrations, handling OAuth authentication, digital certificates, webhooks, encryption and high-volume transactional APIs. Recent projects include integrations with the Australian Taxation Office (SBR), ConnectID, Microsoft Azure AI, Document Verification Service (DVS), Digital Identity providers and numerous enterprise SaaS platforms.
DevOps & CI/CD
I build automated deployment pipelines that allow applications to move safely from development through testing and into production. Using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions and Linux automation, I manage build pipelines, Composer dependencies, frontend asset compilation, automated testing and zero-downtime deployments. This allows projects to scale while maintaining reliability and security.
