About Anthony Mills

Being a child of the 1980's I was lucky enough at the age of 9 to receive my very first computer! A Commodore 64C as the months passed I quickly got bored of the games that came with the computer and started to dabble in code. The first few years with my new toy mainly consisted of writing simple programs and games in CBM basic. Mainly learning by reading any computer related magazines I could get my hands on and pulling apart code written by others. CBM Basic was a good first language but my applications were starting to get bigger and performance was becoming an issue so after being motivated by the demo scene of the time, I moved on to straight 6502 assembly.

The years past, but my love of technology didn't die! Fast forward to the present day, I am all grown up and live in the Southern suburbs of Sydney. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work on a great variety of projects with countless talented developers. I have administered Linux and Unix based systems for 14 years now along with writing code to earn my keep for the last 12 years. My main area of focus has been working as a PHP developer the LAMP stack but I love playing with all new technologies and am constantly starting new projects outside of my day job to expand my skillset.

Beyond writing code I spend my free time on various electronic projects, the never ending quest to brew the perfect beer and exploring the subaquatic depths.....
