About me

Hello! Welcome to my site, a place where I share my love of developing cutting edge web applications, and my thoughts and experiences of web development and design.

I was bred in Northern Basque Country, Europe, and spent most of my working life in France before making the big move to Australia in 2009. Now, I am based in Sydney where I have been working for the NSW Department of Education and Training as a front end Web Developer since July 2009. On my days off I try to soak up the sun, sea, and sand, which is the best part about being on this side of the globe. It has been an interesting change of environment and I am getting used to the Australian lifestyle and atmosphere.

I also like to travel and meet people all over the world to share ideas and conversation. Being a naturally curious creature, I am constantly searching for new inspirations and good practice in web development. Sometimes I develop websites just for fun because you know….I love it!

What I’m looking for

Although I am working full time, I would still like to contribute as a freelancer to PHP Zend Framework based projects or JavaScript development. Please contact me should you have any related projects.
