Short and sweet

Hi, I'm Adam, a senior Front-end Web Developer based in Bristol, UK. I enjoy making things with Javascript, HTML and CSS.
From single page sites to mobile web apps, personalised portfolios to big marketing campaigns, prototyping to interactive canvas experiments – I've built many different things. My focus for the past 4 years has been React/Redux development, but I'm confident I can use any framework and make anything that works in a browser. I focus on mobile responsiveness and performance, good front-end practices, semantics, and modern web standards. I'm comfortable and familiar with working to agile methodologies and within sprints in both small and large organisations.
I consider myself a Web enabler, helping those that otherwise wouldn't have time or know-how to voice themselves on the Internet. I'm fortunate to love my job because of this. It offers me the freedom to create experiences and solve problems. I believe that design and function should be centred around the needs of users, being playful, but not overthought; I strive for simplicity in what I make.
My other interests include running, climbing, reading, wine, Paleo food and 80s design. I used to be an Aircraft Technician in the British Army so I have quite a few stories to tell! I'm very outgoing and love big trips and adventures; sailing, bungee jumping, ultra marathons, rock climbing…anything that gets my heart pumping!
So, what can I do for you?
I can help if you have a design for a site which you need built, or prototyping/building that app idea of yours. I also build themes for platforms such as SquareSpace, Tumblr and Cargo Collective, not to mention e-Commerce solutions for Big Cartel and Shopify.
I also provide DevOps for large applications, as well as consultations services.
If something like this sounds familiar, or you have something unique you'd like to discuss, then please get in touch, even if you want to know if something is possible!
