About

I build digital experiences at the intersection of design & technology.

British frontend developer building interactive, animated web experiences using React, Next.js, Three.js and modern motion systems.

A little about me

I've always been drawn to the part of frontend development where design and engineering overlap. The details that change how a site feels — movement, pacing, typography and interaction — are often the things I enjoy working on most.

My approach is to keep the foundation technically solid while pushing the experience beyond a conventional interface. That might mean subtle motion and interaction, or a fully immersive WebGL environment where the project calls for it.

I enjoy working closely with designers and turning static ideas into experiences that respond, move and behave naturally in the browser.

What I do

Frontend with a creative edge.

01

Frontend

Building robust and responsive interfaces with a strong focus on detail, performance and maintainability.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Prismic
  • PayloadCMS
  • Tailwind
02

Creative

Creating immersive experiences that combine traditional frontend development with realtime graphics.

  • Three.js
  • React Three Fiber
  • WebGL
  • GLSL Shaders
03

Motion

Using movement and interaction to give interfaces hierarchy, character and a stronger sense of response.

  • Motion.dev
  • Lenis Scroll
  • GSAP
  • Transitions
  • Page Interactions

How I like to work

Good experiences live in the details.

01

Design and code shouldn't feel separate.

The best frontend work happens when implementation is considered as part of the design process, rather than something that happens afterwards.

02

Motion should have a reason to exist.

Animation should guide attention, establish hierarchy and give an interface character — without getting in the way of the experience.

03

Performance is part of the experience.

Rich visuals aren't worth much if they compromise usability. I aim to balance technical ambition with a site that remains fast and responsive.

Away from code

There's more to life than divs.

When I am not building things for the web, I am usually playing poker, trading or watching various sports. I enjoy the nomadic lifestyle and have lived in Australia, Malta and the Philippines.

AVAILABLE FOR FREELANCE AND FULL-TIME OPPORTUNITIES

I specialise in building immersive, animated interfaces that push beyond standard frontend experiences.

If you're looking for someone who can bring a creative and technical edge to your project, I’d love to hear about it.
