About Me
I started out in web development, learning how to code websites from scratch and later, WordPress development as part of a domain name investment hobby. SEO became an increasing focus of this endeavour initially as a necessity for success, but soon became a more serious interest within the overall web design and development work.
While completing a BSc in Computer Science, specialising in Web and Mobile at the University of Brighton, I continued to build up my digital portfolio while gaining further exposure in the field of SEO and digital marketing, particularly PPC advertising and content creation.
I love to be by the sea and most water based activities, particularly paddleboarding and scuba diving. Also, memes.

Get to know SEO
Get to know SEO is an SEO and digital marketing blog created initially as a way to hone my SEO skills, as I figured what better way than to write content about the subject I’m passionate about, hopefully helping others with the same interest, while practicing SEO on the site itself.

Beyond Swim
Beyond Swim is a paddleboarding blog developed in WordPress. I created it as a means of populating one of my domain names with indexable content and practicing web development, design and SEO. Currently, some of the copy is placeholder content as it serves as a practice project with further updates planned in the future.

UniChat
UniChat is a PWA (progressive web application) developed in React. As a fully interactive, installable chat application, it was created as a way of honing my JavaScript skills and understanding more backend practices as well as utilising Google’s Firebase service. The web app allows a user to login/create an account and send text and image based messages to other users.

Asteroids 2021
Asteroids 2021 is an in-browser side-scroller space shooter game developed in the P5.js library. It was a visual way of practicing object oriented JavaScript programming and took inspiration from Atari’s Asteroids from ’79 with a modern twist, incorporating a machine learning p5 library to add speech recognition.

Millfield Rugby
Millfield Rugby was the very first website I created and was my first attempt at hand coding as a way of practicing some HTML and CSS. While it is only a one-page static site, originally built simply to showcase a domain as part of my domain name investing hobby, it has remained in my live portfolio primarily out of sentimental value.
