Full-stack web developer specializing in animated, high-performance websites.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a full-stack web developer with extensive experience building animated, high-performance websites using modern front-end and back-end technologies. I have worked remotely across multiple companies, delivering custom modules, animations and complete site builds.
My work emphasizes advanced animations and front-end performance; I regularly use GSAP, SWUP, React and pure JavaScript, alongside Node and NPM for project tooling. I have also developed and maintained WordPress, Shopify (Liquid) and custom PHP sites.
I have a proven track record as a sole developer and team contributor—handling development, client support, bug fixes, training and deployment. I have experience with REST APIs, SQL databases and a range of build and hosting tools.
I am results-driven, focused on problem solving complex animations and delivering pixel-perfect implementations while ensuring accessibility, responsive design and cross-browser compatibility.
