Experience

Websites are what I build.

I build websites that work hard for the people behind them. From business websites and creative portfolios to event platforms and custom web applications, I combine design and engineering to turn an idea into a polished, fast, easy-to-use website.

You work directly with me from the first conversation to launch, with a clear scope, quick turnaround and close attention to the details your customers notice.

What I build

Business websites.

Fast, mobile-first sites that win you enquiries, with search engine optimisation built in from the start.

Creative portfolios.

Showcases for artists, performers and makers: catalogues, media and events that are easy to keep up to date.

Event and community platforms.

What's-on pages, booking links and fundraising for schools, clubs and charities.

Custom web applications.

Bespoke tools, dashboards and integrations when your business needs more than a brochure site.

The engineering behind the websites

Over 15 years of engineering sits behind every build. The same discipline that runs high-traffic websites and banking platforms goes into your site: clear communication, dependable delivery and code that is straightforward to maintain.

How I work
Leadership starts with communication.

I make the complex clear, create alignment early, and build the trust that lets teams move with confidence.

AI should make good engineers better.

I am a practical advocate for AI-assisted engineering: using it thoughtfully to accelerate learning, sharpen ideas and remove repetitive work.

I still love writing code.

Hands-on technical work keeps my leadership grounded. I enjoy exploring systems, solving hard problems and staying close to the craft.

Beyond the job title

I care about the communities around the work too: I’ve led communications for 600 parents, volunteered in reading intervention, managed IT for a music school, and chaired the board of an Ofsted-rated Outstanding pre-school.
