Developer – Creative Technologist
About Me
I am an enthusiastic full-stack developer and digital strategist based in the UK, with a rich experience of over 12+ years in website design, build, and management. If you are looking for a developer who’ll take over the research and development of your website, I am a well-established professional to help you with this. This includes both frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) and backend development (Node.js, PHP, etc.).
🔭 I’m currently working as a Developer for DDA (Direct Design) building web applications.
⚡ In my free time, I solve problems, play video games, read articles and a full-time Dad.
