About

In terms of "full stack" (both front/back-end or UX/server-side) development. I'd say, by ability, I'm between split 70% to 30% in favour of the server-side. I'm presently expanding my knowledge to serverless, terraform and CircleCI as means to provide another facet to my stack.

I come from Yorkshire originally where I studied in graphic, media communications (BA Hons). Beyond coding, I'm really interested in mind models and Physiology. My other passions are family, yoga and playing the guitar. I built this site in Next.js (React JavaScript), any feedback is welcome. Thanks for reading.
