Like what you see?

If you need any kind of web development done, let me know.

I’m currently interested in:

Other things I’m good at:

  • Website back-end coding (Node.js with Express or Serverless; Python with Django; PHP with Laravel; MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Sqlite; Linux/Unix shell)
  • Responsive site layout in HTML5 and CSS3
  • Javascript/ES6 coding, particularly favouring Typescript
  • React and other front-end frameworks
  • Building APIs, and hooking up to existing ones
  • Building clear, powerful, and easy-to-use control panels
  • Setting up and optimizing build systems (for example with Webpack)
  • Devops and other automation
  • Automated unit and acceptance tests
  • Vector-based art (SVGs)
  • Proofreading
  • Music notation

On the other hand, I rarely accept work involving big content management systems such as Wordpress or Drupal, or maintenance of existing sites I didn’t build.

Tools

I proudly develop with almost exclusively open-source software.

A few particular highlights:

Not to mention the dozens of web development tools and libraries I use, but many of these constantly change from project to project.
