What I do
I’m a versatile web developer, with particular skill in JavaScript, and a knack for getting up to speed quickly on projects.
How I can help
Have you got a deadline you need a bit of help to meet? A backlog that needs clearing? Or a prototype you need building quickly?
I specialise in short-term and flexible work to help you do any of these things.

Everything else
I’m online in a few other places. I have some open-source contributions on my github account. I am answering JavaScript questions on my stackoverflow profile, which is useful for keeping myself up-to-date with new technologies.
I work on hobby or open-source projects, mostly Simon Likes Maps. This is a route planning tool for the great outdoors with some very capable features that are not available elsewhere. It is a great example of the kind of web app I can build. There’s more projects listed here and a few snippets of code here.
I’ve got some photos on a 500px feed but more recently I’ve been using Exposure to create photo collections.
