I am a full stack Software Engineer specialising in web applications, web-based operating systems and connected devices. Colleagues have described me as “driven”, “creative”, “an awesome communicator” and “a web visionary”. With over a decade of commercial experience I have acquired a wide range of skills in software engineering, user experience design, system administration and project & product management. I’m also involved in web standardisation as a W3C Invited Expert on web applications and the web of things.

I'm open to

freelance roles.
