What do I do?

Broadly speaking, I specialise in creating websites. Not the design, but the stuff that makes it work, web application development some might call it. Expect to read about JavaScript & jQuery, new web technology, innovative front-end solutions, SEO, Drupal & PHP, and the occasional post about where I feign knowledge in marketing and analytics.

If you'd like to talk to me about a project you can either email me or say hello over at my companies website.
