Hey you guys, I’m Darren. I'm a full stack engineer and the Technical Director of Reflex Studios.

I graduated from the University of Ulster in 2008 with a degree in Interactive Multimedia Design. It was there I met Michael and became friends over a mutual interest in tech. I began working as a Web Developer with different digital agencies based in Belfast. In January 2013, Michael offered me the role of Partner in Reflex Studios.

My early days at Reflex were spent working with Michael in creating our own bespoke web solutions which included Content Management, eCommerce and Mobile Apps. We rolled these solutions out to our clients and our business began to grow. We eventually found ourselves in the Gasworks, expanding our team to help us deliver for our clients.

My day to day at Reflex Studios is spent knee deep in Visual Studio tinkering with code. I work primary with PHP and JavaScript, but do venture into other languages whenever the project scope requires.

In my spare time I enjoy networking in the Belfast Developer Community and exploring places to visit with my DSLR. Past hobbies include counting the years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds since Arsenal last won a trophy.
