Electronic CV and Personal Site
Welcome to destiny-denied, my own personal web portal.
About Me
Graduating in 2008 with a first class degree in Physics from the University of York I have a passion for computing and software development.
Passion for Computing
My knowledge in computing and programming started from a very early age, where I had begun to build my own computers. This became a hobby and intrigued me to learn how to program. I am experienced and knowledgable in all areas of software, with particular focus on web development from PHP5 to XHTML and CSS.
My Personal Site
Amongst personal information about myself, this site also contains discussions of developments in my personal world and the world of the web.
I have created my own personal gallery, which demonstrates some of the scripts I have built. The gallery contains a selected few of my favourite images of previous holidays, my girlfriend and I, and our cat Ken.
There is a also contact form available for anyone to contact me regarding information discussed on this web site, general information about myself, and/or any questions/problems people may encounter with web development.
