About

I am creative and innovative web developer whose passion lies within experimenting and creating new web applications. I enjoy collaborating within a team and supporting clients to fulfil their requirements. I have worked as a PHP web developer for over 10 years encountering all aspects of web applications and strongly believe that I can bring a wealth of enriching knowledge of web development skills and experiences to your organisation. In recent years, I work as the software developer in IoTs which I have built several customize Laravel applications to manage sensors. Furthermore, I also give support the customers on configuring, presenting and troubleshooting the sensors on Lorawan network.
