I'm a remote full-stack developer with a passion for user experience, accessibility and service design.
Hiring? I'm available. Let's talk.
Like many developers, my coding life began about 10 years ago building basic PHP websites with WordPress. Then I discovered how great JavaScript is. Since then, I've been lucky enough to write JavaScript for a large Germany agency, a small English agency, the UK government and a debt-support charity.
These days, after a sabbatical to travel the world, I'm working mostly with frontend stuff with a real focus on creating highly usable and accessible applications with a focus on slick service design. React is my forte. But I work with other technologies, including backend stuff, as needed.
Outside of work, I'm a keen runner, the household chef and a bit of a coffee snob. I've always got a few books on the go, too.
