I am a creative web developer & UX designer and this is what I have been doing for the last 17 years


I worked as a graphic & web designer at TCG Advertising & Design while I studied a HND in Interactive Media at Swindon College.

After graduating college in early 2008, I moved on to work as a front end developer and web designer at EBXP in Bicester.

In late September 2008 I moved to Torpedo in Cassington as a PHP developer, then later promoted to Lead Front-end Developer in April 2012.

In 2013 I was the Senior Front-end Developer at iWantGreatCare where I redesigned, rebuilt and maintained the frontend for their websites and apps.

In 2014 I was the Senior Front-end Developer at Oak Furniture Land, where I revamped their ecommerce site and launched their new brand SofaStore.com

In 2015 I worked at NaturalMotion games as UX Developer and redesigned their internal game management tools.

I am currently working at iWantGreatCare as a Senior PHP Developer working on Progressive Web Apps, platform scalability and real-time reporting.
