About Me

Wow, this page has been around for many years, and it seems like I never actually did anything with it!  So, here is a brief résumé of me, and what it is that I do.

I am a Freelance Web Developer.  I develop web sites for a living.  I started this out when working for AOL in Dublin in the nineties as a tech support guy, and later running their chat based support department.  In ninety eight I moved to London to build some more web sites with them, and manage the team who localised the AOL client software.  I transitioned to their marketing department after five years to build some more web sites and learn more about a different facet of the business from the technical.  In two thousand and seven I left AOL and moved to Germany to live. 

My beautiful wife is from München (Munich if you don’t already know), and we live here on the outskirts of what has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.  I grew up in Cork, Ireland and moved to Dublin when I was sixteen.  If you know either of those cities you’d understand why I consider München to be so beautiful.  Irish architecture generally is pretty much like what you would expect to see in London.  Relatively plain buildings coated in two hundred hears of soot and smoke.  They aren’t beautiful cities from an aesthetic perspective, but Dublin naturally has a special place in my heart.  As does Guinness.  And the view from the Hellfire Club overlooking the city.

Since moving to Germany I have been learning the language with both intensive and extensive courses, and freelancing of course.  I have always done some freelance work for an old company we used in London, and in mid two thousand and nine started to get serious about freelancing as a way of life.  You can learn a little more about my freelance work at DnAWebDev.Net
