About

I'm a developer in South Oxfordshire. I take websites created in Drupal and WordPress and make them match the designs. I mainly use SCSS along with some jQuery, JavaScript and React.

I enjoy the combination of problem solving and making things pretty.

I also like red.

Alternative Ipsum Posts

July 2021

Proof of concept, rather than a real app. This takes (not visible) posts from the WordPress.com API and combines them with random images from the Unsplash API, using Express to hide my API key, to add blogposts into a Bootstrap Accordion.

Note, this is hosted on Render, so may take a little while for the server to start up.

Click the Shape

November 2021

A quick game where you aim to click the shape when it's twice the size. Harder than it looks!

Note, this is hosted on Render, so may take a little while for the server to start up. And the free MongoDB database has expired, so the top scores will return an error.
