◳ 003 / STUDIO / ONE-PERSON BAND

Hi, I'm the
whole studio.

I'm a Systems Engineer specialising in Infrastructure, working in the aviation industry. Servers, networking, the unglamorous bits that everything else depends on. Born in Kent. Based in Staffordshire.

Coding is a hobby that got out of hand. I built my first website at twelve and have been at it since 2011, starting with hand-coded HTML and CSS, back before HTML5 was even a thing. The habit stuck. Theem is what happens when the habit becomes a small business.

On the side, I build my own apps, including ClipSearch and FlightBuddy, and act as Technical Consultant for Gamity CIC, a UK gaming Community Interest Company.

When I'm not in front of a terminal, I make content. A Nerd Fails is gaming on YouTube and Twitch. A Nerd Travels is everywhere else. I drink coffee with conviction, regard tea with suspicion, and occasionally string words together until they resemble a sentence. Like potato. Or antidisestablishmentarianism.

◳ 004 / THINGS I BUILD

Apart from clients' sites.

SECTION 004

Personal projects keep the muscle warm. Some of them turn into actual products, some stay forever in beta, but all of them teach me something I bring back to client work.

◳ 005 / ELSEWHERE ON THE INTERNET

Other places I exist.

SECTION 005
◳ 006 / SOME OPINIONS

Loud, mildly held.

SECTION 006
// On WordPress
Fine for blogs. Wrong for everything else most people use it for.
// On meetings
If it could've been a Loom, it should've been a Loom.
// On AI in this craft
Brilliant copilot, terrible architect. I use it. I don't ship its first draft.
// On retainers
Better than feast-or-famine, worse than honest work. I keep mine small.
// On deadlines
I hit them. If I won't, you hear it weeks in advance, not the morning of.
// On scope creep
I'll happily do more. I won't quietly do more.
◳ READY/TO/START

Send me a brief.
Even a bad one.

I reply within one working day. Often two coffees. No NDAs, no qualification calls. Just a real conversation.

// REPLY/INCLUDES
honest read on your project
rough ballpark on budget + time
names of others, if I'm not the right fit
a 30-min call, if it makes sense
