Performance focused
Powered by Coffee & Process
Performance is key. I optimise for common metrics in Google PageSpeed and up to date best practices that make websites SEO ready and accessible.
I specialise in the front-end; writing CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. Think Sass, Vue, and React. I like to keep code clean and reusable.
I've spent many, many years building large scale products and websites with WordPress, ExpressionEngine, Craft CMS, and Laravel.
I like to focus on building processes that power development. That could be creating a custom webpack configuration, setting up and maintaining a pattern library, implementing a deployment process, or introducing code reviews.
