About this site

Welcome, this is the portfolio blog of Richard Collins a 'full stack' software developer, working remotely from the sleepy little town of Whanganui, New Zealand.

Currently I am the interim Tech Lead at Koan on the World Rugby SCRM Concussion Management System.

'Full stack' software developer? 'Full stack' just means I can do the whole thing, not just the 'front end' - the bit you can see, or the 'back end' - the bit hidden away on a server in the cloud, or the database or the architecture, or the whatever. I am a generalist, I can slot in where you need me, or give me the responsibility and I will make the whole thing happen for you.

What kind of software do I develop? I have the most experience with web and mobile apps. I started my career with desktop applications, but have not done any of this kind of work since around 2005. I dabble a little with micro-controllers, but have not done this commercially since 1999.

What technologies do I have experience with? Well, you may as well go look at my CV.

If you like what you see here, have a interesting project and would like to chat, then please send an email with a few details and a phone number to richardc [at] richardc [dot] net, and I will get in contact with you.
