Hi there I'm Shane, your competent full stack developer here to help you solve your online problems. I've been designing and developing websites and online systems for over 22 years now. I love my work, love what I do, pride myself on my attention to detail and dedication to provide a quality product.

3xs Design Studio is the name I created long ago to brand my web and digital media development services. In high school I took my first paid job developing a website for a small business then have never looked back. I have been working in this industry ever since. Formally trained at the University of South Australia, I studied computer science and multimedia which has provided me with a firm foundation in both software programming and graphic design. Both of these discipline areas merge well with my natural skills and have proven to be a very attractive and advantageous skill-set for many employers and clients. These days my work mainly focuses on technical design/planning, software engineering and team management and I still use all the skills I have at my disposal regularly.

These core skills have allowed me to accelerate my career in web development and engineering and I now boast a large skill set rivalled by few. This incorporates a full range of disciplines required for the development and maintenance of online software/applications. From client proposals and requirements, application architecture design planning/documentation, database/server management, development, time management, team management, deployment, marketing, maintenance, etc the list goes on.

Many clients find this advantageous for the simple fact that I am capable of handling the work of many people, can work autonomously, with a high level of communication, putting clients at ease and producing quality results keeping expenses low. With the ability to handle large scale applications, I have yet been forwarded a request from anyone that I have not been able to fulfil.

I'm also a successful entrepreneur with excellent communication skills. This eliminates many of the gaps between clients/owners/managers and the IT expert needed to implement their vision. I am able to connect with clients, understand what they are looking for, and explain complicated concepts/details in a way that is relevant and easy to understand. This is especially helpful when dealing with people with little IT experience. I am also successful in devising ways to advise clients on important details that they may have overlooked or did not realise.

So whether you need a system built, online business advice, planning/documenting a new system, someone to lead a team or be a team player, with 22 years experience I have much to offer and am well aware of issues that you are most likely to encounter and how to deal with them. You're not just hiring an engineer, but a professional with experience in all of the subject matter involved in the planning, production and running of digital online systems and services.

Below includes examples of my work and web development. I have been involved in the production of hundreds of digital products in my career, so rather than list products where I was marginally involved in, I have included larger examples where I have played a major parts in the development (sometimes the sole developer). This is to give you an idea of the range of my personal abilities.

Slides have been created by merging screen shots together. These screen shots were taken when I developed the product. Websites and systems tend to change over time so the live versions may have been altered.
