Senior Website Developer and SEO Consultant
I’m a senior website developer and digital marketing consultant with over 20 years of commercial experience building websites, applications, and the automated systems that keep them running well.
Based in the UK, I work directly with businesses and partner with web agencies who need a reliable, experienced developer on a contract basis, whether that’s a short engagement to solve a specific problem or longer-term involvement across a project’s lifecycle.
A Career Built Across Industries
Over two decades, I’ve delivered more than 300 websites across a broad range of sectors from aerospace and e-commerce to home security, landscaping, and professional services. Clients have included the ADS Group (parent company to the Farnborough Airshow) and V4 Wood Flooring, among many others.
That breadth isn’t accidental. Working across industries means I bring perspective that a narrowly specialised developer often can’t — an understanding of what works commercially, not just technically.
Technologies I Work With
My core stack includes PHP, Python, JavaScript, and WordPress, alongside modern tooling such as Docker, Composer, and Laravel. I have working experience with browser automation, cross-browser testing via Selenium, and web application security.
I’ve long taken software craftsmanship seriously — books like Clean Code and Clean Architecture have shaped how I approach every project, with a focus on maintainability, clarity, and code that does its job without unnecessary complexity.
How I Approach the Work
I believe a significant portion of development overhead can be reduced through well-considered automation — build pipelines, deployment workflows, code quality checks, and repeatable processes that save time on every subsequent project. That’s not about cutting corners; it’s about reserving your energy (and your budget) for the work that genuinely requires it.
Now Available for Contract Work
I’m currently available for contract engagements, including:
- Agency partnerships — providing senior development resource to web agencies on a project or retained basis
- Business projects — working directly with companies who need experienced development without a full-time hire
- Technical consultancy — code reviews, architecture decisions, and development strategy
If you have a project in mind or want to discuss how we might work together, I’d welcome a conversation.
