About Me
I've been a professional software developer for over 20 years, following a passion for technology and innovation for as long as I can remember.
Following my graduation in Computer Science, I have worked with a wide range of fantastic business and individuals, helping bring their ideas to life. From small local businesses looking to create a professional online presence, to large scale enterprise applications for global companies, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse array of projects that have challenged and inspired me.
As a founding developer of a multi-million pound SaaS company in the online accessibility and compliance space, I have a deep understanding of building scalable, robust solutions that are used by millions of users daily.

My Approach to software development
My approach to software development always starts with 'what problem am I trying to solve?' . From here the technology stack, technical direction and architectural decisions can be made to best suit the needs of the project and its stakeholders. Along with clear communication and collaboration this approach, i find, leads to the best outcomes for all involved.
Accessibility and scalability are also key considerations in my approach, ensuring that the software is usable by everyone and can grow with the needs of the business.

FAQs
Thinking about reaching out, here are some answers to common questions that may help.
What does an initial consultation look like?
An initial consultation typically involves a discussion to understand your project goals, challenges, and requirements. I will ask questions to clarify the scope and objectives, and we can explore potential solutions together. This session helps establish a foundation for collaboration and ensures alignment on expectations.
Do you charge for consultations?
No, I offer free initial consultations to discuss your project needs and see how I can best assist you.
How quickly can you start on a new project?
This will depend on the scale of the project. For smaller projects, I can usually start within a matter of weeks, while larger engagements might require a longer lead time to ensure proper planning and resource allocation. During our initial consultation, we can discuss timelines in more detail based on your specific needs.
How involved to i need to be in the project?
My preferred approach is collaborative, working closely with clients to ensure the final product aligns with their vision and goals. However, I can also take on more autonomous roles if preferred, providing regular updates and seeking feedback at key milestones.
How much will it cost me?
Every project is different, so costs can vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and specific requirements. I always try and provide clear, upfront pricing during our initial discussions to ensure there are no surprises down the line. I can also work within your budget constraints to find the best possible solution.
