Husband to my beautiful wife. Father to my energetic son - @joelfselby. Technical Engineering Lead at UK based ISP. A man behind a camera when possible.
At work I'm mainly working with PHP, but I've worked with Python, C#, Java, Visual Basic and even some C++ (at university years ago) and Objective-C in my "spare" time. I have a Passion for unit testable code, continuous integration and software development processes utilising automated quality assurance tools.
I've contributed to open source software including phpDocumentor 2 (DocBlox), PHPUnit, PHP_CodeSniffer and authored 2 Sublime Text 2 plugins for PHP toolsets. I love the open source community and find it a very interesting place to get stuck in and learn new things
Watching movies always makes me happy and I am currently making my way through some classics which I seemed to have missed during my childhood! I force such films on my wife, which she loves me for - ..maybe.
My iPod seems to have a weird and wonderful range to it and I'm not really sure how to deal with that - Is it embarrassing? Is it ultra-cool? Is it just plain wrong? I don't know the answer, but I feel that I am on the verge of clarity.
When a moment of peace comes my way, I am trying to knock off some of the books which seem to be cluttering my shelves at the moment. James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series is the passion at the moment. Huge fan of Lindsay Boxer!!
Always up for a game of squash, although I tend to get in the way of the ball and end up in some kind of pain. I see this as being in the right place, and my opponent forced into doing the only thing he can - panic and hit me!
For daily ponderings, observations, musings etc follow me on twitter!
That's all folks! THE END!
