Summary
Jamie Collins is a PHP developer based in Sunderland with seven years of hands-on experience building backend systems and CMS solutions. Currently at ARCH, he brings practical PHP, PDO, and OOP skills honed while developing a payroll and stock-management CMS and through multiple web development roles. Comfortable moving between development and customer-facing responsibilities, he’s proven in both coding and operational contexts from agency work to retail supervision. Jamie’s background shows a pragmatic growth path: starting in sales and store leadership before transitioning into junior web roles and then full-time PHP engineering. At 25 he combines youthful curiosity with real project experience and a track record of shipping useful, business-focused backend features. He’s motivated by solving practical problems for teams and organizations rather than flashy tech for its own sake.
