About Me

Hi, I'm Jared. When I am not cycle touring, running, or rock climbing you will find me in front of my computer working on my latest project. My love for the outdoors is only trumped by my love for custom WooCommerce integrations. I built my first website in 1997, and after graduating with a BSc in Computer Science from Otago University I worked customizing e-commerce sites before leaving the comforts of New Zealand for Asia. These days you will find me working from Sofia, Bulgaria, utilizing my full stack developer skills to build bespoke WordPress themes, WooCommerce extensions & API integraitons.
