About Me

I'm a frontend developer, but also a musician and poet, would-be linguist and biographer, deliriously happy husband and father of two, anecdote collector and lover of Jesus.

More About Me

I didn't start in IT until I was 36, and spent 5 years in helpdesk support before transitioning into frontend development. I feel much more at home with programming languages. So far my formal experience has been with plain HTML, CSS, Vanilla JS, jQuery, and SQL (plus PowerShell and Laserfiche).

Right now I'm concentrating on upskilling with Node and Express, React and next (before moving on to the MERN stack in more detail).

As well as programming languages, I speak English fluently; French, German, Hungarian (none as well as I would like), and dribs and drabs of Spanish and Portuguese. I love all kinds of languages!
