About me (and my skills)…
Hey 👋, so, I'm a front-end web developer based in London U.K.
I've built a lot of user interfaces
During a decade of digital agency I've planned, coded and maintained digital-experiences
with a wonderful team of people. Projects ranging from small brochure webites to data driven
webapps.
Some things I believe…
Semantic HTML and good website performance are foundational to the work we do. It's a happy bonus these
support SEO.
Inclusivity on the web
Creating websites that are accessible and inclusive is of utmost importance.
I strive to meet WCAG2.1 standards for the projects I work on and advocate for its recommendations.

Teamwork is essential
I've lead teams of developers to provide customer friendly solutions. Supporting coworkers is a highlight of my day. It's as fun and important to help others
progress, as to be taught something new myself.
The way we build websites has changed a lot over the years
I've built up a variety of skills:
I'm familiar with
modern front-end frameworks such as
React.js,
Next.js,
Vue.js,
Nuxt.js, and
SvelteKit.
End-to-end tested applications with
Cypress.js.
Unit tested with runners like
Jest and
AVA. Then
incorporated them into a continuous delivery process with
Bitbucket Pipelines.
I've configured
tooling technologies like
TypeScript,
Webpack,
Rollup,
Vite,
Gulp,
npm,
Docker and
Yarn.
Enhanced experiences with popular
JS libraries including
GSAP,
ScrollMagic,
Three.js,
jQuery to supplement vanilla JS and achieve custom
behaviour.
I've implemented
data driven front-ends calling on
R.E.S.T APIs. We organise and test their schemas with
Postman. I'm
keen to improve my
GraphQL skills.
For fun, taught myself a little Python
(with unit testing) whilst participating in the annual
Advent of Code code challenges last year
Worked with
PHP technologies like
WordPress (Advanced Custom
Fields).
Incorporated
CSS tooling and libraries like
Sass,
Bootstrap and
Zurb Foundation.
Collabotated using
GitHub and
Bitbucket.
I'm competent with various
design software:
PhotoShop,
Illustrator,
Sketch,
InVision.
Recently I've started dabbling with
3D using
Three.js and
Blender.
I've configured and administered
project management and organisational software for our teams such as
Jira,
Trello and
Slack.
