      Just like anyone who works in media, you always have a start-up of your own. Teamed up with 2 friends and we made a living for 3 years 'doing the web'. Loved it, had a great experience, and maybe will be something to do again.

Well ok not so much the design stuff. Never been an "art" guy, but everything else... I am always willing to try something new. You want a website that launches a space shuttle? Let's talk about it, you supply the space shuttle, I figure the rest out.The only thing that I don't like about this job: It takes 1 and 1/2 hours to get to work using 3 modes of transportation: Walking, Bike, Train and Tram! My wife says I should get a motorcycle... GREATEST WOMAN EVER! Show less

    • Statik

      Aug 2012 - Jul 2013
      Web Developer (Freelance)

      Statik was a pure digital web farm. I was an in-house developer for them. The websites were made using Drupal. They make large info websites and portals. My speciality there was social media. Facebook API, Twitter, linkedIn... I kept a very open mind and attempted any challenge put in front of me. Alas in the Summer of 2013 ownership needed to cut costs. I am grateful to have had a hard core year of learning Drupal. I know what it really can and can't do and I am now a much better developer for having been at Statik. Show less

      Web Developer

      I was brought on to be a temporary fill-in PHP developer. I worked on a major project for a major client in Drupal 8 which alleviated burden on the rest of the team. Together with other senior developers we rewrote the book on Drupal 8 and developed a new amazing way to re-introduce MVC and Symfony back in to Drupal. By being around some of the best PHP minds I was able to advance my skills ten fold! I look at this time as being in Drupal 8 Intense Bootcamp.
