I’m Niraj Shah, a PHP Developer working in London, UK. Thanks for visiting my site – please take a look around and let me know what you think. I love web development and have been doing it for many years now. I also enjoy blogging in my spare time (I have several blogs), watching movies and playing video games.
Education
I have a BSc in Computer Science (1st Class Honors) and a MSc in Advanced Computing (Distinction), both from King’s College London. I received my BSc in 2006 and my MSc in 2007.
Experience
I’m experienced in social application development (Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Google+ and Twitter), WordPress, and hybrid mobile application (Cordova / PhoneGap, Trigger.io). My PHP framework of choice is currently Laravel – it’s what I’ve been using for the last few years to build bespoke applications and APIs.
