Alt Tune — 2026 to present
I joined Alt Tune in October 2026 as a Full Stack Web Developer, working remotely from Hamilton with the team based in Taupō.
About Me
I'm a senior web developer based in Hamilton, New Zealand. I began by teaching myself HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL, then completed a Level 6 Diploma in Web Development and Design.
I started working professionally in 2014, beginning at ninetyblack in Taupō before joining Scratch Digital in March 2021 and Alt Tune in October 2026. My work spans both front-end and back-end development, with PHP and MySQL remaining at the core of what I do.
Outside my professional work, I build and document technical projects for Halo PC. That work includes Lua, server scripting, runtime memory research, and finding practical ways to extend systems that were never designed for modern modding.
Scratch Digital — 2021 to 2026
From March 2021 to October 2026, I worked as a Senior Web Developer at Scratch Digital in Auckland while living in Hamilton.
ninetyblack — 2014 to 2021
I moved from Hamilton to Taupō in July 2014 to begin my professional career as a Web Developer at ninetyblack.
WorldSkills New Zealand — 2014
I won a gold medal at the two-day WorldSkills New Zealand national competition held at Wintec in Hamilton. The competition comprised four three-hour projects covering web design, programming, and interactivity.
Vision College
I completed a Level 6 Diploma in Web Development and Design, studying HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, ASP.NET, C#, and design principles.
Self-taught beginnings
I began teaching myself web development before high school. I started with front-end development and moved into back-end programming as my projects became more ambitious.
