JavaScript experts, mentors, speakers

I gave up the glamorous life of a Chip Shop Chef to pursue a career in web development. Over half a decade later and I’ve worked at a handful of different startups around London, working with lots of amazing people and amazing tech. I’ve spent a lot of time in the Frontend space, building component libraries, running web accessibility workshops, and just having fun building user interfaces. I also created Component Odyssey, a course dedicated to teaching developers how to build a web component library that works in any web framework. I’ve also contributed to open source projects, like the Open UI, where I led the site rewrite.
