I have worked for various companies and organisations as Creative Director, Senior Developer and Web Designer and Developer. Over the past 15+ years I have built up extensive experience in front-end development, client service and team management. I also benefit from having run my own business so have a deep understanding of project management, budgeting, problem solving and the commercial aspects of business. I love learning, always developing my skills and experience. I am a firm believer that we never stop discovering new things and we can always push ourselves to develop further, becoming even better at what we do.
Bio
I must have been around 4 years old when my dad brought home an original Sinclair ZX Spectrum. I instantly knew that even with the long wait for the game to load and the simple wire frame graphics I was absolutely hooked on computers!
I did well at science at school and then went on to start a Chemistry degree. However, after 2 years as the internet become more a part of our daily lives, I discovered that my true love was in digital design and development. I left University and began a job doing CAD and studied in the evenings to get a Graphic Design HNC at Brooklands College. This taught me about typography, creativity and layout. Once I finished my Graphic Design studies I became a Web Designer and worked for a company creating websites for Mortgage Brokers.
I then worked for different agencies as Front End Developer and then Senior Front End Developer and was invited to become Creative Director for an Agency specialising in the automotive sector.
After a few years I took the plunge and started my own business in 2015! I am now looking to broaden my experience in Front-end development in a larger organisation.
I am married to Emma and we have two amazing children, Jack and Erin. I am passionate about fitness, and enjoy reading and spending time with my family and friends. I am always up for new challenges and opportunities, so if you have something in mind please don't hesitate to drop me a massage.
