About me

I am a Front-End / JavaScript developer based in Belfast, passionate about creating accessible, performant websites and web apps written with clean, semantic, reusable code of the highest standard.

My journey with web development began in 2010, with some basic content management, where I quickly discovered that I had a passion for development and spent most of my free time learning as much as I could about it. That hasn't changed much over the last decade. My focus, however, has shifted over the years from basic content management, to HTML and CSS, then building and hosting Wordpress sites (developing bespoke themes), and now JavaScript and React web app development.

Crunch (2015 to present)

I currently work for a reputable accountancy firm called Crunch, in the heart of Brighton. We have a large development team and prioritise quality, through a comprehensive PR review process, and extensive automated test coverage. The majority of my time is spent writing JavaScript, working on our react apps and accounting software, although there is a healthy dose of PHP development as well.

Airborne Interactive (2014 to 2015)

Prior to Crunch, I worked for a company in Chichester called Airborne Interactive. Our role was to develop in-flight entertainment systems for high-end, VIP airlines, using web technology. This involved creating software on ipads, seat screens and other devices that could be used to control the lighting, window shades etc...around the aircraft, or to view and interact with the varous media. I'm unable to give you a demo of the software but it's worth having a look at one of the VIP planes we worked on.

Self-Employed (2012 to 2014)

Before Airborne, I worked on a contract basis alongside design agencies such as Cross Agency, Pepperfish Creative and Plum Creative, to create an extensive range of static and dynamic websites for individuals and businesses, with various requirements including responsive, e-commerce, event management and membership-based websites.
