What I'm looking for

I’m happy freelancing, but when I join a company I want it to be my last—long-term, with room to grow alongside the business. I’m looking for meaningful work where I can invest my skills, experience, and commitment.

I build, fix, and optimise digital systems businesses rely on—combining web development, hosting support, and practical troubleshooting. I focus on delivering stable, scalable websites that perform well in real-world conditions.

With 10+ years of expierence designing and 5 years of IT Support / 1st line developing websites, I’ve supported everything from website updates and hosting management to hands-on connectivity and HTML, CSS & JS fibre-related queries. I’ve also led design and development work while managing hosting operations.

My WordPress/WooCommerce work covers interface design through custom plugin creation and database-heavy performance optimisation. I also bring security hardening, debugging, and REST API integration into the process so projects stay maintainable as they grow.

As a freelancer, I deliver end-to-end services—design, development, IT support, brand consulting, and project management—with a strong emphasis on professionalism and long-term client relationships. I’m disciplined about consistency, enjoy learning continuously, and love pushing limits outside of work.
