I work with clients of different sizes across a wide range of sectors, on extended/ongoing projects and one-off pieces of work. I also work with agencies who are looking to boost their development resource or want to bring a fresh pair of eyes to bear on a problem.
As well as the projects I’ve worked on for individual clients, you can find a summary of software I’ve worked with and my open source contributions on GitHub.
