About Me

Hi, I'm Dan - a web developer from the Woking/Guildford area of Surrey, England. I've been doing web design and development since 2016, when I decided to learn how to build my own Wordpress theme after struggling to find a suitable template for my new blog. I soon found that I was better suited to coding than writing, and continued expanding my skillset through online resources once the project was complete, with the aim of eventually using my skills professionally.

I have since gone on to achieve that goal, while also broadening my tech stack to include various libraries, frameworks, and other workflow tools - though I still specialize in Wordpress and Javascript development. I am keen to continue learning, with Python and React on my radar for the near future, and Android app development as a curiosity for a little furthur down the road. In addition to coding I have a secondary focus of graphic design, using Photoshop and Illustrator to create the necessary imagery for web projects. I am also currently working on branching out in animated graphics using After Effects.

My interest in the digital world also extends beyond web development - I enjoy building custom computers, having constructed my current machine in the summer of 2019. Featuring high-end components such as a Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, an RTX 2060 Super GPU, and 32GB/3200MHz RAM, it gives me all the power I need for remote work if necessary.
