I make it my mission to understand as much as possible about programming, different languages and tools and the wider web ecosystem. I particularly enjoy building APIs and microservices with C# and Node. I also have a keen interest in security, currently studying the HackTheBox Bug Bounty certification, learning all about common web vulnerabilities and penetration testing techniques.
I love to work with React and JavaScript, Node and AWS – using programming to solve real-world problems. I am currently working on a web app that allows the user to create custom location markers, with user-generated images and data.
I have a passion for web development and making user-friendly, beautiful websites and apps. I like to work on side-projects which helps develop my knowledge and skills.

Shaw Farm Holidays requested a more modern design with an emphasis on images and visual elements to give focus to the Peak District as a peaceful, relaxing and beautiful place to stay on holiday.
Care was taken to ensure a smooth site transition, with a focus on performance and maintaining the core functionality of the booking system using a third-party system. This was maintained but made to look more appealing and in fitting with the rest of the design.
Created a prototype 1 vs 1, human vs computer heads-up poker app. Fun side project with more complex logic and state management
An enjoyable and useful pet project that involved full-stack development of a beer bookmark app. The user can signup and search for beers and ales to add to their private lists.
A work in progress - mobile app to be used for foraging and nature enthusiasts for locating and storing location markers.
Using sqlite for storing data and googleMaps API for the map interface.

Use of classes for different types of object, spritesheets and game mechanics.
A fun pet project involved building the logic and front end of a logical puzzle app, based on Kakuro puzzle.
The player has to place a number between 1 and 9 in each square, so that they total the target number in the gray box above and/or to the left. Numbers cannot be repeated in a single set.
Heatons Cats were using a simple Wordpress theme that was functional, but old-fashioned and not reflective of the fresh new face of the charity.
They required a custom Wordpress theme, so that the re-design did not change their day-to-day running of their content management system.
I help maintain the site with periodic updates and occasional custom content.
