## Web developer and consultant

I'm a web developer and consultant with over 25 years’ experience, designing and building digital systems since the web itself was new. I work across front-end engineering, UX, and strategy - informed by deep experience and shaped by new approaches.

I have worked on hundreds of web projects large and small, simple and complex - in-house, in agencies, and in direct client collaborations. I understand not just how the web works, but how best to use it to solve problems.

I take pride in my craft: writing clean, considered code; prioritising [accessibility](./accessibility.html); designing for longevity; and working iteratively with people and teams to create thoughtful, sustainable web experiences.
