I see myself as a user-centric frontend developer and am particularly interested in projects focussed on building web interfaces that are as usable, accessible, performant, resilient and future-friendly as possible.
So when I mention this to someone recruiting for a role, I get… "Do you know React?". 😶

Heading to the beautiful Lakedown Trout Fishery on Saturday for some fly fishing. Such a gorgeous spot away from all the noise.

Well, it looks like my season at IAG Loyalty will be coming to an end on 30th September. After 3 years of working for this great company with fab people, it's time to move on. I'm never that good at ending things I have to say.

Well, here I am writing CSS-in-JS. Styled components to be specific. Right now, I have to say… it feels like all the gears are grinding.

Una Kravetz's talk and demo on calculating colours and creating dynamic theming with CSS Variables is fantastic. I will most certainly be playing with this very soon.

Acronyms and initialisms. I really, really, really don't like them. I never have. I find them exhausting.

We—web developers—have broken the web. We’ve built the front end around JavaScript, which is a fragile house of cards… it’s unreliable and easily broken.

I can't believe it's already been a year since my friend Peter Hart passed away. I miss you Pete.

Trying to find a way to implement a micro-frontend solution that's not a ballache for a developer to use but also - (more importantly) - doesn't create some sort of frankenstein output that makes it awful for the user… Not been successful yet.

I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I'll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else… Kindness - that simple word. To be kind - it covers everything, to my mind. If you're kind that's it.
