Hi there šŸ‘‹

Iā€™m David, a freelance full-stack web developer, based in Lancashire in the UK.

With a particular focus on the housing sector, I specialise in building easy-to-use, CMS-powered websites that generate leads and drive sales for my clients.

Iā€™ve been making things appear on the web since the ā€™90s, when I took my first steps into web development by writing a few lines of HTML in Notepad and making Monkey Island images appear in Internet Explorer. Many LucasArts-inspired fan sites soon followed once Iā€™d figured out how to put my creations onlineā€”GeoCities, anyone?

In the decades since, Iā€™ve seen plenty of web technologies rise and fall but I continue to strive to stay up-to-date with the many languages, frameworks and best practices that make up the modern web.

When Iā€™m not writing code or re-writing dotfiles, Iā€™m usually thinking about:

  • šŸ˜ PHP & Laravel
  • šŸ§ Linux
  • šŸ”‹ Electronics
  • šŸ“» Amateur radio
  • šŸ“· Photography
  • šŸš— Rallying
  • šŸ•¹ļø Retro games
