About
I'm a boy - Australian '85 model to be exact. I am in my last year of a Bachelor of Information & Communication Technology, majoring in Business Information Systems at the University of Wollongong and can't wait to be finished. For a crust, I'm an IBM intern - working in the infrastructure and test team of IBM WebSphere Portal Web Content Management, based in Pyrmont. As well as the work I do at IBM, I also run my own web development business; Formally, Den Solutions (with a partner); but now on my own under my name.
I love everything to do with technology and am a stereotypical early adopter. I am always interested in new projects and ideas, and have recently taken a keen interest in social networking. PHP is my favourite language to develop in because it allows me to build quickly. I have mostly developed in procedural PHP, but am venturing into the efficient, modular world of OOPHP. I have done quite a lot of work with MySQL, espcially database and query design.
I know Java well, .NET a very minimal amount, C++ not at all and am growing in confidence at punching out a bit of python. I am learning Objective-C to write iPhone apps. I have a few app ideas, so keep an eye out on the app store for me.
As well as technology, I absolutely love sport. I play indoor and outdoor cricket and watch cricket every chance I have. I play indoor soccer as well and am hoping to make a return to the outdoor arena next year. I cheer the Swans, but wouldn't call myself a big fan; I'm happy to see the Waratahs win, but I don't go and watch them play; I don't really support any rugby league team since the Steelers left, though living in the Shire means I have to cheer the Sharks by default.
