About
To provide some context for those reading, my name is Christon Altmann from Perth WA, currently spending a large chunk of my spare time studying to become a web developer. I work part time at a company called TADWA (Technology Assisting the Aged and Disabled WA) which is an enjoyable role where I help provide IT services to the elderly and disabled in WA. Not only is it fulfilling and meaningful work, but it's in the field I most enjoy being IT. Furthermore it's flexible and allows me to work towards other goals. Primarily web development, but also other coding and tech interests, because lets face it.. I'm curious about all facets of technology, but my focus is web development.
I'm seeking to use this website both as a way to showcase my projects and my other interests, whilst also using the website itself as a project to work on and build. Recently adding bootstrap and this about page, whilst seeking to further add more elements to it as I learn and become more comfortable with web development technologies.
Feel free to contact me via my Linked or Twitter , or follow my gaming / coding pursuits via the links in the sidebar.
Regards, Christon.
