Richard Paterson

Full Stack Web Developer

Kia ora! I’m Richard, currently a full-stack developer at Devart. I’m passionate about turning ideas into reality through programming and creating beautiful, functional applications. Outside of work, I love spending time with my two boys and exploring the world of collaborative storytelling through tabletop role-playing games. Whether designing immersive worlds or delving into a good book, I’m always looking for new inspiration.

I am a skilled SilverStripe developer, I have honed my expertise in creating custom solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.

As I look to the future, I’m eager to take the next step in my career and find the right team where I can continue to grow my skills and make a meaningful impact
