Hi there 👋

I’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.

I’ve been making things appear on the web since the ’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 I’d figured out how to put my creations online—GeoCities, anyone?

In the decades since, I’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 I’m not writing code or re-writing dotfiles, I’m usually thinking about:

  • 🐘 PHP & Laravel
  • 🐧 Linux
  • 🔋 Electronics
  • 📻 Amateur radio
  • 📷 Photography
  • 🚗 Rallying
  • 🕹️ Retro games
