Client work
I design and build sites for trades and professional services in the North East, made to rank locally and turn visitors into enquiries.
A recent build for a plastering business in the North East. Designed, written and deployed by hand, with no template or page builder in sight, then tuned until it loads instantly on a phone signal.
Side projects
Live experiments running on Cloudflare Workers. Both are works in progress and change often.
This is the front half of the emblem engine running in your browser: colours are quantised in a perceptual colour space, the bitmap is segmented into connected regions, then the smallest regions are merged away until the image fits the layer budget. Everything runs in a Web Worker; drag the sliders or try your own image.
About
I'm a full stack developer from Newcastle. I studied Computer Science at Dartmouth College, an Ivy League school in the US, then came back home to the North East, where I now spend my days building data platforms and my evenings shipping whatever idea I can't stop thinking about.
Professionally, I live in the deep end of the stack: ETL pipelines, API integrations, database design. But I care just as much about the surface, building full frontends both at work and in my own time. And when a problem is interesting enough, I'll chase it purely for the fun of it, designing algorithms for challenges that catch my imagination.
Away from the keyboard I'm on a football pitch, a padel court, or in the stands at St James' Park. I also mentor students applying to US universities, the same route I took.
If you need a website for your business, or just want to talk through an idea, send me a message and I'll reply within a day or two.
