Originally from the South Island, I moved to the Big Smoke to pursue my passion for helping businesses make sense of the Internet. I have worked in IT for almost 25 years and am highly skilled in design, system administration and programming. I tried to be a builder in a previous life but came back to coding because the true geek in me demanded it. I have been coding since before it was cool and have a passion for building things - real or virtual.I love the great outdoors - snowboarding and hiking. Climbing is also a keen interest of not just me, but my two year old son and our kitten called Yoko. Traveling and sampling the interesting culinary delights you eat along the way is something I can't wait to get back in to. For the time being though I'm enjoying one of my fav pass times by cooking for my family at home.I'm one half of 2050 Limited, along with my partner Nicole. She is incredible. Not the best cook, but I have that covered. In all other ways she is magnificent. For those that may assume she wrote his bio for me, you'd be absolutely correct.
