I've given frontend leadership and development to brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, Lloyd's of London, British Red Cross, Paramount Pictures, Sainsbury's and Arrow Electronics. I love giving companies the opportunity to pack a punch and deliver the best experience to their users.

I believe in community, in inspiration and creativity. These 3 things form the basis of how I approach working with frontend teams either as a developer or as a lead. I like to get stuck in, to give direction and help project owners make the best of an ever-changing technical landscape. I'm comfortable in client meetings and have been trusted to bring concise jargon free advice on technical decisions.

I believe in a great product. An inspired team and a laser focus on the user's experience will produce the best results.

My skills include: Frontend leadership, Frontend architecture, HTML(5), JavaScript (OOJS, ES6, TypeScript), CSS (BEM, Less, SASS, Stylus), Testable Code (Mocha, Sinon, Chai, Karma), NodeJs (Express, Mongoose) , Cloud Applications (Heroku, S3, Azure).

I've built highly performant HTML5 cross platform applications for browsers and Cordova: Canvas and image manipulation, Backbone, React Native.

You can hire me to do:

  • Team building and mentoring
  • Technical Lead and JavaScript Development
  • Frontend Consultancy
