Hi, I’m Richard, AKA parsingphase
I take photos as a hobby, and write code as a profession.
Software
On the software side, I build things in Javascript, Python, PHP and occasionally Java
I create documentation and guides as well as code
Commercially, I’ve worked for companies including -
- Forcepoint
- The London Internet Exchange
- Snatch
- Quidco
- Amazon (at The Book Depository)
- Fitch Learning
- Dennis Publishing
- The Mind Gym
I spent most of 2019 working on IX-API, and I’ve written up my experience
