Programming isn’t just about writing code — it's about strong communication skills, collaboration, and the ability to convey complex ideas clearly. Throughout my career, I have recognized that clear communication is just as important as technical expertise. Alongside my work in programming, I have always enjoyed writing. I have had articles published in a national Canadian newspaper, featured in several books, and written numerous reviews covering computer software, music, and new media. This writing experience has strengthened my ability to adapt my communication style to different audiences, ensuring that what I write is concise, accessible, and engaging.

Beyond programming and writing, I am deeply passionate about music. This passion led me to create Indie Launchpad, an online review website dedicated to independent music. What began as a personal project quickly grew into a well-regarded podcast, ultimately producing over 200 episodes and building a loyal international following. Through this endeavor, I honed additional skills in content creation, digital publishing, and audience engagement.

Originally from London, UK, I have called Ottawa, Canada home for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients and collaborators around the world, including in the UK, USA, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Hong Kong, and many others. This global experience has given me valuable insights into different cultures, working styles, and markets, further enriching my ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across diverse teams.
