Nicholas Pellant’s Summary

I love to make things work. Ever since I was a young boy technology has been my fascination. I began building websites at the age of seven and have developed/toned my skills throughout the years to where I am today. I have been programming in PHP for just over four years, becoming a well rounded developer with not only languages but with concept-to-release processes, designing interfaces and more. I'm always keen to learn new ways of doing things and take a real active interest in what I do. In short - I'm a tad in love with code.
