Great software made by someone that cares

I love working with good people to build useful things. A website, a web app, or something a little harder to label - if it solves a real problem, I’m interested.

I didn’t go to university. I started at the beginning, taught myself how things worked and kept following the interesting problems. That route has taken me through marketing sites, business-critical web apps and projects for companies of all shapes and sizes.

I enjoy the whole process: understanding the problem, shaping the right solution, building it, shipping it and making it better. I’m here for all of it.

I'm not just a software developer, I like to keep myself busy outside of the digital world, whether photographing a sublime location at sunrise, whacking a ball around on a padel court, or taking my motorbike to weird and wonderful places.

Useful as a freelance partner, an experienced extra pair of hands, or a thoughtful addition to the right team.
