About Me

I am a freelance full stack developer, producing high quality digital projects since 1997. I started out in "traditional" design and print work in 1994 and have a very good understanding of both the design and technical side of web projects. For most projects I work with my colleagues at Fogarty+Patchett, for which I built a wide variety of projects. Most of these were produced for various UK ad agencies.

This webpage is a fairly experimental work in progress. :-)
